Well, maybe you could and should. But consider these things first. 1 - Where's your head at? If you haven't solved yourownpro-blems, or at least acknowledged them, there's no way you'll be able to help others. The world is full of helping people who use others to make themselves feel good. 2 - Can you listen to someone without letting what you want to say get in the way? Listening is more than just a "Yes, I understand." 3 - Are you really shy inside but covering it up with a lot of talk? Are you afraid of people? ?:.t J --' HELEN ASIITUN, chairman of the Office Education Department and business teacher at UTCP. Officers Selected only 25 votes.
