Recently when I decided on an investment, I was in need of support and help from several people, like friends and relatives. I was discussing about the same with one of my friend's mom. She smiled and said to me, "Paul, feel free to approach all those whom you have helped, all those whom you think have high regards for you, all those who have been taking advantage of you.. don't leave anyone.. because this is the best time of your life to get to know the true color of a person.. don't forget to expect the most unexpected..". My friend's mother is a fine woman. She is one of the women I couldn't resist admiring for her smartness and intelligence. Eventually it turned out to be what she had said was right.
There would be people, because of circumstances, wouldn't be in a position to help. Those who couldn't help can be understood. There are people who don't want to help. Well, even those people who don't want to help should be understood. Not only understood but also to be kept in mind.
It is very surprising how colors fade away when you approach a person with some real need. What you thought you have built over the years suddenly appear as nothing but a sand house, which gets washed away by a simple (not even rough) wave.
You see, you can't blame someone for who they are. But getting to know them, the real them, helps you to understand where you stand in your life and how you must be moving forward. It gives an idea of whom you can count on. But even then, as they say, at the end "we are all alone".
