It’s not rocket science….but if it seems like it, we have the how to books for you.
How to ________ for Dummies….
I don’t know who came up with the idea, but I would like to stab them in the eye with a sharp object. If its not bad enough that we don’t have he confidence to ask someone with the knowledge to help us, we have to further berate ourselves by buying a book that labels us as unintelligent.
I bought one once. I had the distinct feeling that I was being followed by someone, saying things such as-
“Don’t trip on your shoelaces, dummy”
“The sign says push…not pull, dummy”
“Pull the tab on the can of you plan to drink it, dummy”
I don’t think I am dumb. What was dumb was purchasing a book that told me I was.
We all need help with something at one time or another. Increasing our knowledge on subjects, increases brain activity and allows to answer question with an answer other than “I don’t know.” The information we seek is out there. It doesn’t take a dummy to know where to find it. Just the willingness to ask for help.
Win!
