# Differentiating between Black and white:
You should show them what is right or wrong. People often tend to follow the wrong path consciously or unconsciously. At times like these help them to understand, give examples supporting your thoughts and alert them about consequences.
The World is full of people who do all sort of wrong things which may harm them or people around them. So, you should try and stop such things by telling them the difference between right and wrong. It’s your moral and social duty.
# Engage in fruitful Activity:
Work with them in many activities and let them explore more. Engaging with people in an effective fruitful activity is a good way of helping them. They enter a territory in which they have not worked before and life is meant to explore new things every day. Sometimes people are idle and do not know what they should do as an individual, letting them do such work will only make them better-learned human being.
# Teach a new way of living:
You should help people by teaching them intellectually. Explaining others will, in turn, help us understand things more and in much better way. You should teach them to realize their potential so that this may help them in times of difficulties. Also, there are many people with learning disabilities, autism, and attention deficit disorder. Helping such people will be a great cause to look after. You must help such people without any discrimination. Teach them to follow their dreams.
# Guidance in time of need:
Guide people to choose jobs, in health related issues and even in reducing consumption of tobacco related items. Such needful act is direct means of helping people. Your guidance can change a person’s life and its path. It can lead to good decisions.
# Understand them and ask Impactful question:
You can simply ask some impactful questions from people so that they understand themselves, get to know about issues and make right choices for their actions. Therapists usually do such task. Some good questions can make them think and come up with solutions. Read about 'Asking Intelligent questions with Impact' by Gary Lockwood to know more.
# Share your own story:
We must help them by sharing our stories of failures, winnings and even stuff we may try to do in future. We should not hold back from narrating our stories just because we feel vulnerable. We should not deprive others of our learning experience, life experiences, and humanitarian experiences. When we help others by sharing our experiences then we become more reliable and empathic. In this way, the concerned person becomes more approachable and would believe in you as real life stories are more helpful.
# Realistic Anticipation:
Level-up your expectations while helping others, so that they start operating at their best. Encourage them to have a realistic expectation instead of letting their hopes high without realizing the limits. This can be observed when a teacher, parents or boss expect more from us than we are capable of. This is so because this helps people to work up to the challenge which helps them to learn more.
# Acknowledging their Reality:
You must acknowledge people when they are doing right in life. It’s been said that you find what you looking for in people around you. You will see best in someone if you are looking for it. When you acknowledge good deeds of people they tend to do it more. Praise them in front of others, call them or send them a card. Such small things may help people and encourage them to do more good deeds.
# Devoting a quality time with the fella:
In this rushed up world, we rarely get time to communicate properly with anybody, which in turn leads to many problems such as depression, anxiety and many more. In a time like these if someone spends quality time with a person or even talk to them then you are helping them in more ways than possible. We often spend time for the things we love to do, so devote your precious time helping others. In this way, people would value you more and in return, your relationship with them improves.
