​Confident People Ask for Help

Today we were invited to a school meeting, a meeting to talk about ‘our responsible and dedicated high school kids.’ During our meeting we discussed their strengths and shortcomings, how to give them support and how to help them improve their grades. Although, we did not receive any awards, the invitation went well; both will finish the year with reasonable good grades.
 
Anyway, after leaving, a professor’s comment stayed in my mind: 'your kids are not reaching out for help; they are not approaching their teachers for assistance when in doubt.'
 
I ask myself: Why are these kids so hesitant to ask for help?
 
For most of us, asking for help is a sign of weakness; it suggests a lack knowledge or experience.
 
Well, let me tell you something: Asking for help is good.

  • When you ask for help, it shows that you are willing to build the trust between you and them.
  • When you ask for help, you empower others to share their strengths and their passions.
  • When you ask for help, you accept that you do not have all the answers and are willing to learn.
  • When you ask for help, it confirms that you are committed to work hard and find a solution.
  • Most important, when you ask for help, you are showing respect for the other person’s expertise and judgment; otherwise, you would have not asked!
 
Always keep in mind:

  • Confident people are secure enough to admit a weakness.
  • Confident people know that there is strength in being vulnerable, in being human.
  • Confident people ask for help, knowing that this will only improve their chances for success!
 
So, ask for help, it will only make you better!

    Who I am today as a person is largely due to my failures!
    Failures are the speed bumps in life that matter!  They are not regrets but small disappointments that wake up the strength within us! Failures are the process of learning and improving!  Without failures we simply are at a status quo!  

    "success is built on many failures..."
