While facing the worst phases of life and the lowest points, do not shy away from seeking a helping hand.
A family paediatrician often used to say "This will get worse before it gets better" – an adage that doesn’t just hold good for infections and other medical conditions but for life in general as well. Whether it is a relationship or a business association in which one has been getting a raw deal, we tend to give the other party a long rope till things get full blown and reach a breaking point, before they are resolved or terminated some other way. This is simply because we do believe that there is a small chance that there will be a dramatic change at some point or that the problem will go away or a miracle will happen that completely alters the equation.
