I always think I am bold, until I read something like this. Why haven’t I asked? Why don’t I ask? It seems that there is some force that keeps me from asking…”they won’t let me do that…noone ever did that before…yeah, good one” That sort of thing. I think back to trips I could have gone on, parties I missed, even WEDDINGS of dear friends I didn’t go to, just because I didn’t ask. I want to be more accertive in my asking.

I found his courage to just ask in the story exhilarating. I was rooting for him to get what he asked for and I realized worst case scenario was he would get turned down and that he knew that going in and still simply asked.
It is a bit like the head fake to me in its simplicity just “ask” and if you don’t get what you desire so what.
Nothing ventured; nothing gained…

The fear of the answer has held me back so many times. Why am I so scared of rejection. His courage to ask will be an inspiration to me to be more bold in asking.

My life is full of what if’s. I always thought myself to be bold and outspoken until I read this book. I now realize that more times than not I just sat back and let what happens, happen. I truly think his courage to “just ask” was a wonderful thing. I certainly will use more of that way of thinking in the future.

I lose courage because sometimes I already know the answers before I even ask it. I know that it never hurts to ask quetions.
