I was listening to NPR this morning with their program, "This I Believe". They had an essay on the power of failure as a building block to success. That made me think of knowing my limits. When is it when I need to ask for help to do what I need doing. Like office helpers. I get office helpers when I find myself unable to finish basic tasks like mailing out CDs and such. Or recording a CD, I hired a producer to help me complete my Cat CD, which I knew would take five times as long by myself. So this idea came to my mind:

"There is no shame in failure.
There is only shame in not asking for help to succeed."

Not sure I entirely stand behind the second half of that concept, but it sounds nice...
