The power of asking for help

Hello everyone, welcome to my blog.

What I have found out in life is that no man knows it all, and for every part you walk in life, there's someone who has walked that part. Recognizing those people and asking them for help can make your journey in life faster.

One of the things that is killing a lot of people in this generation is their refusal to acknowledge that they need help.

When a man becomes too proud to ask for help, it means that all the burden will be on him because, for example, if I start a business, I will look for those that do that business and have become successful and ask for help to know how they made it in the business.

Walking in their footsteps will make me successful in that business within a short space of time because they will guide in order for me not to make their mistakes.

On the flip side, if I refuse to ask for help, I will have to try out things for myself and make mistakes, and this process will take a longer time.

Growing up as a child, the only people I knew to ask for help were my parents, and if they couldn't, I forgot about it. But when I got into events, I found that I may not have everything needed for an event, so I would have to ask.

Although some of those things would be paid for, it gave me the opportunity to meet clients' demands for events because I asked for help.

As a student, whenever most of my friends needed help with the things I could do, they never hesitated to ask, but I was the type that really asked for help not because I couldn't but because I always felt like I didn't want to bother anyone.

But I soon found out asking for help isn't a crime, especially when you genuinely require it. The worst that could happen is that you get turned down, which is normal sometimes.

During my final year I had some courses that were relatively difficult for me to understand, and I reached out to a friend. Unbeknownst to me, he and some other person were having difficulty with the same course, and then they were organizing two tutorials.

Believe me, I have tutorials. It really did it for me because most of the questions we solved, especially preparing for exams, were the same questions that came out during exams, so it was like solving the questions I saw during the exam. I had to have sections in the exam hall because I asked for help.

These days a lot of people tend to take help for granted because they only reach out to people when they are in need of something, and that is a bad way to live, most especially when they haven't even appreciated the person for the last help they got.

When people don't know how to appreciate those who render help to them, they tend to lose future help because thanksgiving or appreciation is proof that one has not lost their memory.

On the other hand, a person who knows how to give thanks and appreciate others for the health they receive will always get help, and a man who knows how to get help through appreciation will not struggle like others.
