Be thankful in the small

Today I had a lot of troubles due technical problems, but also due to strange concepts of people and strange implementations.

I was angry because I was not able to get my top priority work done for today and even arrived home late - my wife was angry too...

I was angry about all the people causing trouble...

Then my wife told me that today many people have helped her and without asking people have taken over and finished work for her. Wow! Can't say, that I had a lot of these experiences. In most cases I feel quite alone with my problem. That said, I began to re-think my day. Isn't it possible that I got some little help which I didn't either notice?

And yes, I found at least 4 cases of little or even medium sized help today. Not in all cases I said "Thank you".

And we really need every little helping hand!

And for those who did not really help you - thank good, that they didn't sabotage you! And for those who did sabotage you, thank them, that they didn't do either worse and kept a little rest of good-will!

Waiting for a helping hand you can wait for a very long time...perhaps it's better to help yourself, at least you’ll never be disappointed with the result if you give it your all...

Thanks for pointing that out. I am always the first to help myself - hence I didn't even think to mention that. It's normal for me.

Helping myself unfortunately does not always bring the best results as I am not always able to get an expert on a topic in a reasonable time span.
