     What is the Yes Bank? A river has a bank on each side but they aren’t Yes Banks.

     Maybe you have a piggy bank. Can you keep a piggy in a piggy bank? That’s silly, isn’t it? A piggy bank is a good place to keep money but it isn’t the Yes bank.

     Here’s a hint. You can stand on a river bank but you can’t stand on the Yes Bank. You can hold a piggy bank but you can’t hold the Yes Bank.

     Here’s another hint. When you ask someone to do something, what do you want their answer to be? You want their answer to be “Yes.”

     When you ask someone to help you, what do you want their answer to be? You want their answer to be “Yes.”

     What do you think? Is “Yes” a great answer? It sure is. It’s spectacular and totally terrific.

     The Yes Bank is full of answers. Some of the answers are “No.” Some of the answers are “Maybe.” Here’s the great news. Some of the answers are “Yes.”

     They decide if they are going to tell you “Yes” or are going to tell you “No.”

     This is really interesting. The answer never has to be “Yes.” People don’t have to tell you “Yes.” What do you think about that? Does anyone ever have to tell you “Yes?”

     People don’t have to do what you ask them to do. They don’t have to tell you “Yes.”

     People don’t have to give you what you ask for. They don’t have to tell you “Yes.”

     People don’t have to let you do what you ask to do. They don’t have to tell you “Yes.”

     !    How can you get people to tell you “Yes?”

     That’s what the Yes Bank is for. It helps you get people to tell you “Yes.” They don’t have to tell you “Yes.” They can tell you “No” or “Maybe.” You want them to tell you “Yes.”

     How do you like that? Do you want to get people to tell you “Yes?” Sure you do. That’s why you need a gigantic Yes Bank.

     Get ready. Here’s another important secret. You’re in charge of the Yes Bank. You’re the only person who can put stuff into the Yes Bank. You’re the Yes Bank boss. You get to be the Yes Bank boss because you’re soooo smart.

     People give you answers from the Yes Bank. You want more “Yes” answers. here’s the third question of the day.

     !    What do you have to do to get more “Yes” answers?

     Here’s something you already know about. You have to put money into a piggy bank before you can take it out. When you put money into the piggy bank, it’s called making deposits. A deposit is what you put into a bank. What do you think you deposit into the Yes Bank?
