“I think something that I learned that I'm really proud of, that I'm still learning, is saying ‘no’ to others isn't just letting someone else down, but it's saying ‘yes’ to me and that's something I need to keep reminding myself of. [...] You don't want to break this image of you that you can do it all, and the fact is, you can't, which is fine. But you need to know what you're losing when you say ‘yes’ to them.” – Chloe Shih
