Help : Offer & Ask For!


‘Help’ is a very powerful word, it paves the way to purpose & makes our existence much more meaningful. ‘Purpose’ is the sole thing we all strive to spot on, in our lives.

Be Generous, Offer to Help People: One of the best advice I received in 2013, was to attempt helping others. And to do this, go above and beyond what you could easily do. While walking down this street, it also turned out to be the best way to build strong ties with people.




Taking it a step further, try to find out what keeps people awake at night. If you can solve one of these challenges for somebody, you are already better off the rest of the crowd. This will eventually help you succeed; they will consider you as somebody who is smart, thoughtful and understanding.


Ask For Help: While helping others make you stand out of the crowd, be enterprising enough to let others avail this opportunity too. Don’t try to do everything all by yourself. Nobody, quote this word, ‘Nobody’, can sail a huge ship alone. It takes a crew to fight away the tides by all odds.




People like to help and that’s what makes them feel valued. Let them discover their worthfulness, don’t be shy to ask for support when you need it, be open and reach out to people. Take advantage of people’s strengths and capabilities, advantage does not imply that you exploit them. But do leverage it for a collaborative success.

I will just conclude my thoughts on this with this quote:

When you’re drowning, you don’t say ‘ I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,’ you just scream – Jon Lennon.

Very good and well thought out article. I know the author of this article, is genuinely interested in providing helping hand. In larger perspective, helping others is the best way helping ourselves. One should help others as well as should not be shy asking for help. Many times help can come from unexpected quarters and for which we should be grateful.
