"Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blinder, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying yes begins things. Saying yes is how things grow. Saying yes leads to knowledge. Yes is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say yes."

I like this quote.*smiles*
That's an ignorant quote. A lot of times saying yes to something is the same thing as saying no to something else. On the flip side, saying to to something is often the same as saying yes to something else.
There are self-imposed blinders everywhere. It's not right to point out someones particular blinder while ignoring your own.
