Look before you help....

Who doesn’t like to help a friend…. Everyone does…. If we like a person we always want to help out tht person whn they are sad… but then many a times in this over enthusiasm we tend to overdo n then instead of helpin out the person make him/her more irritated… there are many things which one may have to consider before helping out someone… wht exactly is the problem?? Does the person really want your help?? Sometimes the problem is a private one or the person may want to keep it private.. sometimes the person may not feel close to us though we may… some ppl like solving problems on their own n don’t want unnecessary interference from others… so there are many things to b considered before jumping in to help out someone, so that you don’t end up feelin exactly the way I felt whn I did it today…many a times I end up frustrated as I don’t want someones help n the person is hell bent upon helping out… but then sometimes one should know that even if momentarily we are hurt by this we should still knw that whtever was done was in good faith and it was done for us because….. the person ‘cares’….

i completely agree with u on this one!
jus as u shd think twice before helping ne1, u shd also think twice befroe giving out unwanted information!
il cite a story form Birbals tales!
once a man met birbal in front of his house and he asked him, "sir, can u tell me which house in this lane belongs to birbal?", Birbal answered "That one"and left! The man went to Birbals house and waited for him to arrive, wen he came back in the evening, the man was angry and asked Birbal why he hadnt told him that he was Birbal (hence wasting his entire day). To this Birbal answered, I only answered your question!
this has been the best piece of advice ever!
