However I still think solving problems on your own will benefit you as your problem solving skills should increase. In the end you can pay for it now or later. | |

In my experience, in a business environment it's better to ask for help after an hour or two rather than after a day or two, because eight hours of someone's time is too much money for a question that someone else may already know the answer to. | |
