This one stems from the situations faced by us in almost anywhere where we go and try to ask for Help. I'd say the best example would be our offices... I mean why go far, look at our second home... and you'll know...
Ok so what am I trying to talk in here - well I said help, now what happens in 'HeLP'. Let's analyze...
Ok so we are in need of help or if I would say we need something from another human being, say our peers (as I have set the context to be a work place), and what do we get to hear??? Any guesses??? Well this should be so simple, ain't it... I bet you'd already be having the answer and would be saying that why is this guy writing so much... Ok so killing the suspense (as if there was any :)) we know that the reply would be,

1. "Hmmm... let me see what I can do and will get back to you."
2. "You see that's a nice point but we need to check with the ...."
3. "I would surely love to help you and hope you get that but we have certain ...."
Some possible Gerantiosus responses, as expected... But the fact is that no matter how simple the need would be but people, ahem peers (remember the context...), just don't say a yes or give a Green signal instantly. I know that there are a few who do so, but mark my words - few - and that is what makes the difference.
Now what this makes us believe is that the 'Grass is not that green on the other side...' but that's not true, simply because when we get a glimpse of things on the other side we say, "Wow. That's not what I'd expected. It's so bad of him to say like that and make me feel..." But this is the truth, many-a-times, right!
So all I'd say to such people who like to keep things in a vault - one which has the toughest combination possible and all laser security, just to keep a small key to the door - is to have no such vault and have transparency in their dealings so that we always end up in a win-win situation and hence keep the Grass as Green as possible... always... and everywhere...
