I also want to add if you play the "Yes - but" game, you won't achieve
your goals. According to a psychologist Eric Berne back in the 1960s -
he wrote 'Games People Play' - the person who says 'Yes, but..' to every
piece of advice can never move on because they are giving themselves
excuses not to act. In other words it's a game designed to give
yourself permission to complain yet do nothing.
