It really depends on the person who will lend a helping hand
In my case I do help those persons that really needs my help. As long as I have the capability to help them I always lend a hand for them.
I also like to help those persons who also help others
I remember when I was on college
Being a student that can make programs I was always asked to help others which I really like.
I like helping them, with this I also learn new things and help me improve my skills.
So there was this time that a bunch of my classmates ask for my help
Of course I didn't hesitate and help them, we spend a couple of days and night making their projects. I was the one who lend a hand when there are things that they don't really get.
I was like a human debugger at that time
So for those who was not a computer programmer or didn't know how to write codes. Debugger or Debugging is the process of identifying and removing the error in the codes they have written. So i was like the human error checker for them, but I like it. I was encountering some problems that I didn't encounter in my own project and I was really learning many thing back then.
So going back, we all manage to pass our projects on time. They all thanked me, and of course the help was free of charge. I even spend my own money just to help them until one of them make a big mistake . . .
We are having a designing assignment, we need to make our own house design.
Of course not all have a talent at drawing and designing, I also myself don't have that talent but I still make my own.
One of my classmate ask for help, and I found out that a person whom I helped will ask for money just to make a house design. I was really angry back then, how could he ask for money despite me helping him for FREE!?
So from there I decided to not help him again, and if the time comes that he asked for my help I would also ask for some payment.
It's a good thing that my decision reached him and not ask for my help again
I really would help all the people around me but I guess if you end up being such a greedy person whom take payment for some help I would rather throw my time sleeping at the house than use it to help you
