Assertiveness

Definition: Assertiveness is the quality of being self-assured and confident without being aggressive.

Quote:

Reflection: Assertiveness is a positive word to describe the balance of something. For example you are on lunch break and your peer has a pile work of papers to sort through and you ask him/her whether they need a helping hand or if you can bring them lunch to eat. Assertiveness is considering the rights of someone.  Another way is when your mom tells you to do chores around the house and when she gets home she sees that you haven not even began to start. You must tell your mom you will do it at a specific time that it will be done.
