PUSHING TO THE FRONT<br />

for everybody, but I had studied the intended recipient of my letter and<br />

knew what would work with him. Everyone has something that makes<br />

them tick – study them and find it.<br />

7. learn Balance<br />

Do not give up, but do not turn yourself into a pest either. Help comes<br />

mostly to those who seek it with dignified humility. I have asked for<br />

help from many other people and in many other ways and I have not<br />

always gotten a ‘yes’. To enjoy business success, you have to be able to<br />

pick up the pieces and try again. Mary Anne Radmacher’s quote captures<br />

this succinctly, ‘Courage does not always roar, sometimes courage<br />

is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying…I will try again.’<br />

8. Help otHerS too<br />

Do not forget that someone took the time to answer your cry for help.<br />

Today, I take the time to teach others how to succeed because I do not<br />

forget that someone took the time to teach me. Take out time to answer<br />

somebody else’s cry for help.<br />

Asking for help takes a certain amount of courage, everyone can but<br />

not everyone will, and that is what separates the successful from the<br />

failures in business and in life. I have often heard that when the student<br />

is ready the teacher will appear, but most times in life when the student<br />

is ready, the student has to go in search of the teacher. Do not sit idly by<br />

waiting for help to locate you, go after it and never underestimate the<br />

innate potency of the cry for help.<br />

None of us has gotten where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by<br />

our own bootstraps. We got here because somebody bent down and<br />

helped us.<br />

~ Thurgood Marshall<br />
