Since I joined mylot, I've noticed that a large percent of the community want; and do like to help fellow mylotters.
How important is helping other for you?
(From tips and advice, to ways to improve making the most of your mylot visit.)
Personally for me, I do offer help but I've never posted regarding tips or tricks within discussion. I enjoy helping (even in real life) so for me it's quite high.
Thanks for your input,
~Joey

I really enjoy helping others, both in my online & offline interests. Showing others how to do things for themselves can really make a difference for them and it helps you become more familiar with what you're working on too. I especially enjoy teaching others to read. It can open up a whole new world of possibilities and ideas sometimes. :)

Thank you for your response paidreader.
Indeed, you're right. Helping can make a huge difference and one of the things about mylot.com is most of the members, especially those inside my friend list are like you too.
Kudos,
~Joey

I offer help where ever I can and I also realize that not everyone on my lot is english by birth and the guidelines can be hard to understand. Imagine if we had to read guidelines in chinese. I don't understand where myloters can be so mean spirited like that myself.

I like to help people if I can be it online or offline.
In Mylot I try to respond to discussions with 0 response. Everyday I search for discussion with no responses. Also whenever new member post something asking for tips or any kind of help, I like to help them with the things whatever I know. I feel good if I can help someone.

Help is always one need what ever the situation is. Here helping others is trying to respond friends discussions and giving them suggestions or advice or solutions respectively.
I like helping others, irrespective of expecting any thing in return from them. But i would be happy if they can help me in return.

in real life, even the smallest act of kindness touches my heart. and i do the same to others as well. i open doors for people, i give my seat to elderly and disable people, i give out a smile (since smile makes another person's day better) and other acts of kindness i can atleast hand out to people.
in myLot, i am not a good advicer. but i give out and share most things i know in life. i try to be friendly in many ways i can to make a fellow myLotter's day extra brighter.
helping is really fun when we do it from the heart. we give out not extra strength... we give out what is natural from within. no need to force ourselves to do so... it just automatically comes out from us.

I always offer assistance to anyone.
I figure we can all use all the good karma that we can get.
Plus I have received pleasant surprises when someone I've helped brought unexpected benefits into my life. Helping others just leads to better conditions for everyone.

yep. i am a believer of karma, too. what you do unto others will also be done unto you.
that's why i stick onto doing what is right by helping out. yep... i have experienced that,too. things i have done to others, they come back to me after sometime. and it's truly a great joy to the heart.

I like to think I am a great help in that I listen and I support my friends here on Mylot, if one of my 'close' friends disappear then I will drop in on them to make sure they are ok, a quick pm just to let them know I am thinking of them, and I know my friends do the same, that's what I love about this site!

I like helping people here and in real life. I just can't help people all that much in real life because I'm usually the one that needs the helping. But, when it comes to Mylot, I like to see people succeed and meet their goals. I try to give tips in regard to posting and writing good discussions. I often give advice. As for posting tips and tricks with discussions, there are actually many discussions that have posted some good ones, so I don't add to it. But, I sometimes respond to people who are asking.

I have always tried to help in any way I can.
At 60 years of age,I have learned a great many things that people forgot over time,and some has never been passed along,as progress has made many outdated.
I have found many "advances"in technology have actually coused more damage than good.
Thank you for the discussion.
Blessed Be.

HI Joey,
I do enjoy helping others both in myLot and in the real word.
If I can, If I know something that another person doesn't know and it can help them, I will gladly share.
I don't even remember if I ever posted tips or tricks, but if I know any that can add something to the discussion I probably will.
So in answer to your question : Yes, I do like to help others and I do it whenever I can:)

I like helping in any situation if I think I can help. I find it rewarding to make someone else happy. Cause I know that when I need help with something and get the help I need I feel real happy, and just knowing I might be giving that feeling to someone makes me happy. I've gone out of my way sometimes to help people. Like walk with an older lady to her house cause she didn't have an umbrella and it was pouring. But I also feel shy to just ask them if they need help most of the time, cause some people can react in strange bad ways when you ask. If they ask for my help I'll do what I can.
