I'm not surprised. I also am trying to open doors for a particular someone and am always interested in helping. But you know, your blog made me think back to the times (and there were a few), when people tried to open doors for me. My biggest error was in not recognizing that a sizeable door was being cracked, and just for me. Sometimes it was youth, sometimes it was the business of life, and other times it was just thickheadedness. I'd like to think I've come a long way since then. But, DBS, I think it is a rare person that can recognize when a humble person is trying to help them, particularly if the person being helped is also kind of humble. They don't take a hint. There is miscommunication. One time, I remember, someone pushed. They spelled it out for me. I got it. Are you being too humble? On the other hand sometimes it is just the folly of youth:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2982689682328012818.post-87409291198347187142011-11-13T15:42:11.826-07:002011-11-13T15:42:11.826-07:00Got to agree with core contrarian here, my dumbed ...Got to agree with core contrarian here, my dumbed down brain is clunking to a start.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08682357133636381359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2982689682328012818.post-21601586099181164372011-11-13T07:28:20.793-07:002011-11-13T07:28:20.793-07:00You make me think.You make me think.Contrary Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13362063863211706180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2982689682328012818.post-85183453550289465392011-11-12T21:40:28.668-07:002011-11-12T21:40:28.668-07:00Tricky.

But we have to know that there are doors to look for in the first place. I'm grateful for the teachers I've found or have found me.<br /><br />I like this door idea. It's got legs.

If you push too hard or too consistently, even if it is for their own good they will resist. <br /><br />They that fails, I agree with Laoch, they have to think it is their idea first. <br /><br />I like opening doors, especially when it is uncomfortable. They rewards are too great to pass up.ToBlog todayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15215485087602615189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2982689682328012818.post-18270605109780769532011-11-12T14:06:10.458-07:002011-11-12T14:06:10.458-07:00What exists beyond the door bell could be your wor...What exists beyond the door bell could be your worse nightmare :-).Windsmoke.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12225394580987872677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2982689682328012818.post-34549907341680317332011-11-12T11:20:11.023-07:002011-11-12T11:20:11.023-07:00I think it is possible to lead someone else to the...I think it is possible to lead someone else to the door and get them to push the bell. I've had teachers and writers do it for me anyway. It just depends on the door you're leading them to since not all doors are meant for everyone.Rubye Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02511953177053448513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2982689682328012818.post-33292858876528111412011-11-12T11:05:14.448-07:002011-11-12T11:05:14.448-07:00I think you have to convince them that it is their...I think you have to convince them that it is their idea to go to the door.Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506141014376919585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2982689682328012818.post-7451739176443744122011-11-12T10:42:56.370-07:002011-11-12T10:42:56.370-07:00If you really want what's best for someone, yo...If you really want what's best for someone, you have to keep leading them to that door.
