The 10 assertive rights of an individual

Assertive Right #1: I have the right to judge my own behavior, thoughts, and emotions and to take the responsibility for their initiation and consequence.

Assertive Right #2: I have the right to offer neither reason nor excuse to justify my behavior.

Assertive Right #3: I have the right to judge whether I am responsible for finding solutions to others' problems.

Assertive Right #4: I have the right to change my mind.

Assertive Right #5: I have the right to say, ``I don't know.''

Assertive Right #6: I have the right to make mistakes and be responsible for them.

Assertive Right #7: I have the right to be independent of the good will of others before coping with them.

Assertive Right #8: I have the right to be illogical in making decisions.

Assertive Right #9: I have the right to say, ``I don't understand.''

Assertive Right #10: I have the right to say, ``I don't care.''
