Aphorism Blog #1

"Get as much help as you can when you need it"
This aphorism is taken from the book Tuesdays With Morrie. It's pretty straightforward, when you need help don't just take little bites, take as much as you can! It's almost like the French saying, "Croque la vie" which basically life life at the fullest.
I think that this is a great aphorism to live by. Say you need cash and you're offered about 5k from your parents, why would you take half of that when they are already offering a lot. One shouldn't be afraid to admit that they need help and they shouldn't be embarrassed to take it all. It's a blessing and once it's given to you, one should accept it with open arms.
Help from peers and family members or even random strangers are like little nudges to help yourself in life. Why take a little step when you can leap?
