Does Helping Someone Move Forward Cost You Anything?

[Charleslie]

Helping someone succeed does not always mean you are losing something. Sometimes, sharing your knowledge, giving advice, or creating opportunities for others costs you nothing but can change their lives forever.
Unfortunately, some people are afraid to help others because they see everyone as competition. But the truth is that another person's success does not determine your failure.

Helping people who are still trying to get on their feet costs a lot these days. I've heard situations where someone introduces a friend who is struggling into his line of business, only for the friend to come in and ruin the business. I've also heard of mature men laying cuss on another man for destroying his legacy due to the help he rendered him. People have a lot of experience helping others, and if they decide not to help others, I see nothing wrong with that decision. There must be a good reason why they choose not to help again.

You're right, there's nothing bad helping someone who's trying to get on their feet's. But this days some people choose not to help again due to some reasons and  With what I've witness so far we don't really need to blame people for not helping others.there was this man working as local government cashier, then helped one man to work under him due to his relationship with the man, the man that was employed worked under for just 6 months he went and wrote some petitions against him that he's doing money laundry. EFCC followed him up Immediately and was charged for embezzling public funds, this man paid heavily sold many of his properties before he was free and later lost his position as cashier to the person he helped got a job. With what I've witness i see no reason of blaming people for not helping who's trying to get to their feet's, although it's depends on humans i believe there're still other humans who'll not acts bad towards those that help them.

The problem lies with the humans not that we don't have people who are willing to help others so they can also scale through there are people that you choose to help and you get betrayed on the process, some will outsmart you, others will set you up and even want to take over from you if possible take your own position from you, some people are that wicked that's why most people are scared of helping and often times they choose to do so from distance.

We now live in a world where lifting each other should count because at some point we're helped in some way or the other before getting to that position we occupy, so there's no big deal extending such help to another and it won't take away anything from you either. I've seen someone who's even struggling but he is always there to share his knowledge and experience and the other person getting this help isn't even serious and that can be discouraging.

I have seen cases where the person you choose to help gets you set up with something you have absolutely no knowledge about so apart from those selfish people who are just naturally wicked and don't want to help anybody because they want to have it all forgetting that life isn't promised, people with genuine heart that seems not to be doing that are now either being discreet because they have reasons to why they choose to protect their space, work, experience, knowledge or even assist financially the heart of man is deceitful

People should still put in the work and earn their progress but if you already have something and helping another person move forward doesn’t really take anything away from you, why not do it?

For me, the best way to help is not to do someone's work, but to show them the right way. Because if you are an experienced person, your small advice can save them months of mistakes. But at the same time, I want to say that helping does not always mean that we get nothing. Many times, when we help others, we have to give our time, attention and energy. If you give someone 1 hour of your time, you could have used that time for something else. Still, I think it is valuable to help the right people in the right situation. Because if you are a mentor, you can have a positive impact on others' education, career and personal development. But it is also important to remember that you do not need to help someone in such a way that that person becomes completely dependent on you.

To be honest, it is not right to think that helping others will reduce your opportunities. If a person knows anything very well and someone they know is completely new to that area. Then if he explains to him the safety of that area, the way to avoid fraud, what is good and what is bad and its risks, then the new person can avoid many wrong decisions. But the one who teaches does not suffer any great loss. Rather, by teaching others, one's own knowledge also increases. However, helping does not mean that one has to give everything of oneself. Understanding one's own capabilities and situation and giving the right advice to someone can also be a great help. I think that if someone else does something good, we should not be jealous and help them. This will not only benefit them, but we will also get the opportunity to learn a lot ourselves.

The best way to help someone is too teach them how to help themselves and help people to grow but not to depend on you, sometimes a little advice can make someone from making a lot of mistakes, teach someone the way and can find their own path to be better, so actually helping is good but your knowledge can change someone life so we should never be afraid to share help to people and also helps other but don’t forget to protect your own peace, real help does not mean you will eventually do everything for that person, so our advice are more valuable than our money.
