From the mind of critic: “If when all attempts fail we read the directions so we find the solutions we missed, do we feel like less of a person because we didn’t figure it out ourselves? Do we believe that we must be strong, smart and courageous to succeed, and asking for help is admitting failure because we’re weak, dumb and timid? Or do we believe that success doesn’t mean we’re the strongest, smartest or the most noble, it means we put ourselves in the right place at the right time without knowing it, and that asking for help when we don’t know something, actually furthers our goals along? Many of us wanna feel that we can do things all by ourselves, we’ve been trying to prove it since we were little kids. However, there comes a time when we must grow out of this stage, because we begin to realize that we really don’t know everything about everything. Maybe some of us never grew out of this teenage mindset. Maybe we know that we don’t know something but won’t admit it, because we don’t wanna be seen as less than. Maybe, just maybe we’ll wake up one day and realize that we’re imperfect human beings, that learn as we go. And the sooner we realize that, the further along in our journey we’ll be. If the true sign of knowledge is admitting that there are manynthings we don’t know, aren’t we simply progressing forward when we ask for directions? While the word success is subjective, knowledge is not. Sometimes when we admit we don’t have it, it actually proves that we do” 🙂
