Summary

This quote humorously highlights the irony of seeking self-help advice. When the speaker asks for assistance in finding the self-help section, the saleswoman cleverly implies that true self-help should come from within, and if she were to direct the speaker to the section, it would defeat the very purpose of seeking self-improvement and personal growth. This quote underscores the notion that true transformation and empowerment begin when individuals take it upon themselves to seek answers and discover their own path.

It may be a very little thing for you to say to a young man the few words that turn him from the way of ruin, and win him back to life and hope. It may be a very little thing to you; but it is every thing to the young man.
