I remember back when I was in college, first day of class. Just started, and there's a bunch of new students in there. I didn't know what to think. I didn't know anybody.
And we received an in-class assignment to do from the very first day. And I didn't completely understand it, but I didn't want to look stupid in front of all these new people. So I sat there really worried that I was going to get it wrong and ruin the whole first day. It maybe ruined the entire rest of my college.
I don't know. Hurt my GPA. Fail out. Become a homeless bum.
I'm just kidding. I don't think I spiraled down that far, but it does happen. And eventually, you know, I ended up building up the courage to ask for help, and it was no big deal. The teacher was glad to help, and so were the other students around me, and I got the, and it was such a simple clarification, I was able to get the work done, no problem.
The point of this is that asking for help can be so much harder than it sounds. Sometimes it seems like we do it, we can do everything by ourselves, and other times we don't even realize that we need help, and sometimes we do know that we need help, and we're just too scared to ask. The point is that things are, if we need help, things aren't going the way that they should. and of course uh you know we never want to look weak or stupid to somebody else but we all need help from time to time and if you can remember that we all need help everybody even the person you're asking for help needs help from time to time and chances are no one's going to look at you as you're stupid and even if they do as soon as they help you guess what you know that stuff now help's always closer than it seems and there's no shame in asking for it just ask for it save yourself the trouble thanks for listening to the daily duck
