Rely on yourself or ask for help?

There’s a lot of factors that effect people’s personal and professional life, some factors can be controlled but others may not be able to control by the people themselves so that one should rely on oneself, not on others, but in some situations they have to ask for help from other people
Personal life of a person includes many things like their health, their family, their friends, and making choices about traveling, buying car, houses…People can take care of their health by keeping away from smoking, drinking, by exercising…but cannot avoid unexpected accidents like car accident, murder nor affected by hereditary diseases like cancer…
The situation is similar in the relationship between one and their friends, their family which play a very important role in one’s life. You’ll be a very happy person if your friends, your family always stand by your side and support you. However, it is not a trouble-free relation as no one can guarantee that your beloved ones will never betray on you. You can choose your friends but not your family, and even with a friend you choose, there’s nothing guarantee that the connection will last forever. It’s not just from your side but also need the other side’s sincerity to form a strong relationship.
Professional life is other side of one’s life. In your professional life, you can choose the job, the career you like but not the teachers. Your grade at school not just reflects only your effort, but sometimes it also counts on the teacher’s point of view which may be very different from yours. It’s the same in your working life. You can choose your desire job and company, but your success does not just rely on how hard you work but partly depends on your boss.
In general, it is very good to be independent and just rely on yourself; however, you may have to ask for other people’s support sometimes. Your success comes largely from yourself as well as your own effort and partly from external’s factors like people, unexpected events which are not under your control.
