A Story by NoeJeko

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let me tell you all a little story:

When I entered the military and arrived at my first base, I knew nothing about anything. I was told to call the base hospital one day and book an appointment for my first physical exam. I didn't know the phone number, so I asked my supervisor for the number.

He gave me a phone number and I called it.

When the line connected, it wasn't the base hospital - it was the base commander. The general was highly pissed that an airman had called his personal line, and I got my ass chewed out for a good 15 minutes.

I never said a word to my supervisor, for I had learned the lesson he intended to teach me with his harsh, but effective method:

"Don't ever waste someone's time by asking them to help you when you have not first attempted to help yourself."

Well... we're too nice to chew someone's ass out for 15 minutes. :x But even so, you're never going to get better with someone holding your hand through everything. Give it a good try on your own, and you may be surprised at just how strong you are!

And here's a quote from the same thread that sums it up greatly:
