When I seek help

It is often a last minute decision for me whenever I decide to seek help. When I had more vision, it was a bit more difficult for me to decide but now that my vision is at a minimum, the decision is much easier.

What am I going on about today? There are two things that play around in my mind and are uppermost whenever I am faced with a decision to seek help. For what it is worth, here they are.
First: Do I really need the help? If I do indeed need it then how can I make this a win-win situation for me and the one who has either offered to help or the one to whom I am considering asking for help?
Second, I need to ensure that the person whose help I seek or accept will not hesitate in the future to either offer or agree to help another blind person.

So, how do I ensure that all of my objectives are met? It is simple for me! I need to be polite, respectful, courteous, and considerate. Even if I may not want or require someone’s help, I need to be mindful of their feelings if I decide to refuse their helping hand. Just my thoughts on this subject.
