I simply have a hard time saying no. Many projects look like fun to me. Being willing to try new things has helped me to expand my skills as well as to recognize when something is truly beyond my grasp or interest. So I generally say no only if I have a schedule conflict, if I want to encourage someone else a chance to try their hand at a task, or if I am completely out of my element.

Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song, And I'll try not to sing out of key. So when your friends need you, you sing. In tune, out of tune, wrong tune -- none of it matters if it's the right heart.

And I’ll try not to sing out of key.

So when your friends need you, you sing. In tune, out of tune, wrong tune — none of it matters if it’s the right heart.
