-- Seneca | Ask
What I point out to people is that it's silly to be afraid that you're not going to get what you want if you ask. Because you are already not getting what you want.

You're afraid of getting what you already have! It's ridiculous! Who cares if you don't get it when you ask for it, because, before you ask for it, you don't have it anyway. So there's really nothing to be afraid of.
