A Youtuber was complaining
about how all the plants
in her garden were dying
or doing poorly.
I saw immediately,
from the video,
what her issue was.
But she didn’t once
ask for help.
She complained
but she didn’t seem to want
or welcome
any advice.
So I kept my advice
to myself.
If you have a problem
or a challenge,
ASK for help.
Then…
appreciate that help,
even if you don’t plan
to take the advice.
That increases the probability
that person will help you
again.
