My parents hardly let me ask for help, so I trained myself to do things just by myself. I thought if I asked for help, I would be a problem to other people.

A few days ago, I was on a trip. To save money, I planned to stay in someone's house. When arrived in the house owner's city, it was raining hard. My host was very friendly. She invited me to take a walk around her city. But I didn't have the right shoes for the bad weather. I wondered if she had any shoes for me, but finally, I said nothing.

It was really cold outside and the heavy rain made my shoes wet. When we got home three hours later, I had lost feeling in my feet. That was all because I wouldn't ask a simple thing like, "Could you find a pair of good shoes for me?"

From that day on, I tried hard to overcome(克服)the fear to ask. It took me a long time. I've found that people are always happy to offer help. What's more, asking isn't a sign of weakness. Asking gives you the chance to find the kindness of others.

Go to ask someone. The worst answer is just "no" while the best answer is an experience you'll never forget.
