Introduction
When we Google the phrase ‘ask for help,’ both in Spanish and English, most articles only talk about the importance of asking for help and how to do it. A few others also mention some reasons why the person in question may not ask for help, for example, for fear of signs of weakness, shame, etc.
However, most of these articles fail to describe the phenomenon of asking for help from a structured and more profound perspective, which also helps the reader and the person in question to understand where they are at in the “help process.” And move forward accordingly.
In this article, we will structure the importance of this action so that it is easier to observe and understand its basic needs. The final objective is to invite the person to take corresponding action and know how to ask for help, but not before reflecting on their current state of consciousness and where they want to improve or advance.
‘The 6 phases of knowledge‘ that should be considered when asking for help
Asking for help requires two conscious foundations:
- Recognize that one does not know (do/achieve) something,
- That one wants (to do/achieve) that something.
Now, here we will describe the ‘6 phases of knowledge’ of any person, which can bring better awareness to the way of denoting and understanding the fact of asking for help:
Phase 1: The person in question ‘does not know that he/she does not know’
Phase 2: The person in question ‘knows that he/she doesn’t know’
Phase 3: The person in question ‘learns what he/she didn’t know’
Phase 4: The person in question ‘forgets that he/she knows’
Phase 5: The person in question ‘knows that he/she knows’
Phase 6: The person in question ‘leaves what he/she knew to learn something new and better’
For practicality purposes, we are going to use the following statements as synonyms for the past phases:
Phase 1 – We ‘do not know that we do not know, and that we cannot’
Phase 2 – We ‘know that we don’t know, and that we can’t’
Phase 3 – We ‘learn what we didn’t know, and what we couldn’t’
Phase 4 – We ‘forget that we know, and that we can’
Phase 5 – We ‘know that we know, and that we can’
Phase 6 – We ‘let go of what we knew, to learn and achieve something new and better’
