Dont be afraid to ask for help

I was looking out the window at my friends place and i noticed something profound. This guy was walking with a handful of flyers on a windy day. He stumbled and all of the flyers went flying out of his hand. My first thought was man that’s going to take him a long time to pick up. As soon as i said that to myself, three bystanders took off to aid him. Each person stayed around until every flyer was returned to the owners hands.

The first thing this incident made me realize was that people are willing to help others without compensation as long as they know there is an end in sight. Second, if the task is clearly defined and doesn’t require any critical thinking skills, people are eager to give moments of their time to complete it. Third, if you ask people for help most probably won’t help, they will just keep walking by but a few good hearted people will.

Dont be afraid to ask for help but make sure that the task is clearly defined that you need help with.
