Some of us have trouble asking for help, believing that others may think less of us, that we should be able to do this (whatever it is) on our own, that it shows weakness, lack of character or some other negative trait we don’t want associated with us. The truth is that everyone needs help sometime. Instead of being afraid to ask for it, try asking for help with a smile. This predisposes another to think kindlier of the request, and the requestor, for that matter. It’s also more likely to result in the help you need.
