The Helping Paradox

The more you need help with something, the less others want to give it to you.

The less you need help, the easier it is to get.

People want to help those who have first helped themselves—or who display the appearance of self-sufficiency.

| Insight

Growth often requires leaving behind what is comfortable.

Challenge: Write about a time you stepped out of your comfort zone and the growth you experienced as a result.

Example: Deciding to move to a new city, starting a new job, or learning a new skill.

Abhijit Naskar on the essence of true leadership:

"A leader is not the one who has followers, but the one who creates leaders."

Interpretation: True leadership is not about amassing followers; it's about empowering others to become leaders in their own right. It's about igniting the spark of potential within others and fostering an environment where they can thrive and lead with confidence.
