“Why put in the effort to explain why it isn’t a fit, if they haven’t done the homework to determine if it is a fit?”
Tim Ferris is talking about Maria’s policy that sometimes the best “no” is no reply.
This made me reflect on the three levels of “no”, arranged in order from lower to higher relevance:
- Not responding with anything, out of ego.
- Responding with a polite no, out of understanding them and you
- Not responding with anything, because read the first sentence.
