How Can I Help?
The crowd is interested in one thing – themselves.
Self-interest is a survival mechanism, hard-wired into every human being’s DNA. Most everyone you meet is out for themselves; concerned only about themselves.
So, when someone asks, “How can I help?” they immediately become a magnet to others.
