Features: Life cannot do without asking for help. Asking for help is about survival, and more importantly, it's a crucial deal for a successful life. The three visits to Liu Bei's that secured Zhuge Liang's services demonstrate this. Understanding how to ask for help is the key to finding helpful people. Kneeling down to others doesn't necessarily mean being a fool. Mastering the art of asking for help will make you smooth and popular everywhere. Making the "asking for help" deal work means satisfying the other party while benefiting yourself. Reaching the heavens isn't hard, and asking for help is no exception! "Asking for help" is essentially "selling yourself!" The amount of capital a person has determines the size of the deal they can make when asking for help. When asking for help, you must treat yourself as a product while simultaneously becoming the super salesperson of that product, proving its value to the customer (the person you're asking for help from). Additionally, you need to recognize the following four facts:
1. Recognize that the essence of asking for help is for survival, so you must ask.
2. Recognize that the speaking platform is for the other person, and all the speaking skills you must possess are there to highlight them.
3. Recognize your own capabilities and what can bring you tangible value.
4. Recognize that "dealing with the situation as it comes" is the survival strategy of asking for help. As long as it benefits you without harming others, using a little trick or tactic is morally acceptable. If in the past, groveling or bowing down didn't guarantee help, then are you ready to open this book and retake the "asking for help" course?
