Based from a book I've read, the best givers are actually the worst receivers... because receiving gives the impression of vulnerability. Giving on the other hand creates empowerment. One should also be a good receiver -- it gives the 'giver' the chance to be generous. Asking for help has been difficult because we think of two possibilities, one is that we feel that the other party may be only obliged to do us the favor and the second one is that we might get rejected -- so we end up saying --I'LL DO IT MYSELF.

Ouch!!!
