Help should be asked from capable ones

Everyone wants to live a happy and peaceful life. We always try to avoid any difficulties if possible. Unfortunately, in life, we need to face various kinds of difficulties even if we don't want to. It's the reality of life we can't avoid. Some people ask for help from others easily when they face difficulties, whereas some people try to deal with this by their own effort because they are capable enough to do it. Instead of it, sometimes we need the help of others.

Whenever we need help, there are basically two types of people who are available to give us a helping hand. One type is our family members, and another type is our friends. Friends and family members both are important in our lives. Thinking about a life without family members and friends is hard to imagine. If I face any difficulties in life and need help badly, whom do I call first? Family members or friends? To be honest, giving the exact answer to it is not possible because it depends on what kind of help I need and what kind of situation I face at that time. Let me explain.

I am such a person who is rarely stuck in any kind of difficulties, and only in a few cases I may need help from others. I am a calm person, and I can think calmly even if I face a difficult situation. I am quite calculative when I deal with difficulties. When I need the help of anyone, I can understand which person can offer me the best helping hand, and I will call that person rather than think about who is close to me.

Suppose I need money immediately for some reason. Should I call my family members first or my friends? The answer to it can be different based on the person. In my case, I will surely call my family member, more specifically my father, because I know that he can give me the money to overcome difficulties without asking questions. If I ask a friend to give me financial help, he may give me a helping hand, but I think I shouldn't bother any of my friends for financial reasons. I don't want to bring financial things into friendships as long as I am capable of. Moreover, I think my father can help me to deal with the problem in the fastest way. So, obviously, in that case, I will call my family members.

Suppose I'm facing any difficulties in workplaces or in my academic cases; whom will I call first? Without any doubt, I will call my friends in such a case. It's because they also face similar situations like me, and they can understand better the situation of mine, as they also experience it like me. In that case, I don't think my family members can help me because they are not experiencing a similar situation to me, and it's hard for them to understand my situation for them. Next month, I will face my post-graduate exam, and after that, I need to submit a thesis paper. Handling everything at the same time gives me pressure, and if I needed help, my family members can't help me as they can't understand my situation fully. But my friends, most especially my classmates, can give a helping hand because they can understand the situation better as we are encountering the same situation.

I stated only two examples to make you understand that whom I call in the time of a difficult situation totally depends on who can give me the best help in hand considering the situation.
