The most common way to waste your own potential is to spend years trying to help people who gave up on taking responsibility for where they are in life.

The world is full of talented and hard-working people who don’t have the success they deserve and who hate asking for help, you will find so much more satisfaction helping these people instead.

But if they hate asking for help, will they accept it if it comes unsolicited?

Good catch. You’re right that giving help without being asked usually doesn’t work. Even if they don’t ask directly, you can see they are open through how they work and learn. Help works with these people when it strengthens momentum, not when it tries to create it.
