Accepting Help


"He that won't be counseled, can't be helped."

Benjamin Franklin


Is there any among us who would not occasionally benefit from the help of someone else?


We all are paid for what we know and know how to do but none of us knows it all.


How open are you to the counsel of others?

  1. For some, even listening to advice, no matter the cost, is a chore, and of course those are the ones least likely to act on what others tell them.
