Have you ever thought those dangerous words, “Naw! I don’t need any help”?
I don’t know about you, but my gut reaction is to say, “No thanks!” when someone offers help, even if I really want (or need) what they’re offering.
Our culture is wierd that way; we’re taught that — in order to be truly highly advanced — we need to work alone. However, the times I’ve been the most successful in my life are the times when I’ve reached out for and/or accepted support from others.
Which brings us to the last tip in my series “how not to make stupid mistakes in college.”
To recap, Tip #1 points to the importance of knowing yourself, both your strengths and your challenges. Tip #2 reminds us to take time to think through tricky situations in advance.
And Tip #3 recommends we get humble and get help! Check out this video for more:
