Ask/Filter/Proceed
For a few months, above my desk I had a postit note with the phrase, “Don’t ask for help… ever”. Then, directly below it, another one with much smaller text that read, “unless you really, really need it.”

I wrote this post to let people know why I started this drive, and why I hope it continues to grow. The next drive is Feb 11th. from 11am - 5pm at the...
