I Am a Rock
Is it easy for you to ask for help when you need it, or do you prefer to rely only on yourself? Why?
I take after my father,” Just get out of the way and let me do it.” I have (I hope) grown beyond that mentality in most things.
If I do not know what I am doing, or if what I am doing is not taking me to the places that I want to go, I know to ask for help. I find people who have accomplished the task that I want to accomplish and I ask for assistance. That is the smart thing to do. I do this at work to become a more skilled educator, at play to become better at the hobbies I am pursuing, and in my own personal growth. Having a skilled mentor allows one to enjoy the efforts needed to succeed at great deal more!
This story is a great illustration of the need to know when to ask:
“A little boy was having difficulty lifting a heavy stone.
His father came along just then.
Noting the boy’s failure, he asked, “Are you using all your strength?”
“Yes, I am,” the little boy said impatiently.
“No, you are not,” the father answered.
“I am right here just waiting, and you haven’t asked me to help you.”
