Life is a shared journey where we are meant to uplift each other because we can't journey alone, less we get stuck at a point. It is ideal for us to believe in our strength and ability to take on the things we want to achieve; a mindset that builds and strengthens us, making us independent.
But aren't we Humans, limited in certain things and in certain ways? An imperfect being. To ask for help at some stage isn't a sign of weakness because it takes strength to ask for help. Allowing pride to prevent us from asking for help when we really need it can ruin the entire work; rendering the whole effort useless.
We only need to know when and who we go to for help, and we shouldn't be discouraged from seeking help because we were turned down by those we ran to for help. Ensure you seek help only when it is obvious that you need one. Don't seek help when you haven't tried what should be done.
Finally, one good turn, deserves another. When you receive help, appreciate it and don't relent in giving back the same help or even more when called on
