Doesn’t have to be a life motto. Any motto, for any application.

Mine is: “Fear is shorter than regret.”

    Ehm, yea?

    Yeah. I am highlighting that your personal experience in this regard is different from mine and vice versa.

    And why is that a problem? Some people need help occasionally

    This is a problem because, as I already said: when you give them a hand they want the arm.

    In other words, they start expecting you to spend more and more of your time, labour, brainpower and/or resources, solving their problems, to their benefit, with no regards of that becoming or not a detriment for you.

    It’s specially egregious in cases where the person doesn’t need the help, that they’re asking for help just because it’s nice to have it.

    That’s why, as I also said, it’s important to impose some limits here and there. Plenty people do not know how to impose those limits, and as a result they are taken advantage of.

    Is this clear now?
