Today I decided to help a friend with WordPress as she is currently living overseas and wants to start a travel blog. We did this through Skype as I talked her through what I was doing from the shared screen option, I kept getting internally frustrated at the fact that she wouldn't try to at least figure it out on her own as I could see she was expect me to do it for her. 😕

Why is that some of us "go out and do" and some of us sit on our laurels expect the world on a platter?


I know it sounds like I'm whining but I have always been genuinely curious about this heavily researched topic.
