Earlier today, I was having difficulty doing some work. I was in the computer room and some of my classmates came in. I debated whether I should ask them for help but I was not sure. Anyway, it so happened that one of them needed help with their work and asked me. I gladly helped them.
After that, I grabbed the opportunity to ask for assistance and to my relief, they were only too happy to help me and within minutes I had solved the problem. It goes to show that if you do good to someone else, you will attract goodness to yourself.
I am happy with the way I quickly overcame my shyness (or maybe embarrassment) at not knowing something which seemed so obvious to the other students. Next time I am faced with a similar situation I will ask no matter what anybody says. After all, we are all here to learn and as learners, some of us are bound to be ahead of the pack. So what? We cannot all be the same and to allow for other people's brilliance to shine before yours is a wise human thing to do.
So my lesson here is simply to ask and you shall receive. Keep things hidden and you shall fail miserably.
Anybody moved by this? Any familiar bells sounding? I hope so; the aim being that if you change your position you are bound to hit a mine and possibly strike gold!
Give it a try if you want, you have nothing to loose except a slice of your ego (you may quickly recover from this if you are a positive minded person). Forgive me if it sounds like I am telling you off because I am not!
Cheers.
