"Don't chase people. Be yourself, do your own thing and work hard. The right people, the ones who really belong in your life, will come to you and stay."

-Will Smith.

I don't think you'll get very far if you ask people to do something for you then spend ages waiting for them to complete the task. You could be waiting a long time and they could be stopping you from getting on. They could even be doing it on purpose. And it would be nice if you could do everything yourself and be totally independent, but sometimes you need the help of others. It could be to help you carry something or complete a task, or to construct something for you which would save you time; especially if you had to learn a new skillset just to complete one task. And no one’s going to come running out to you if they don't know that you're looking. It would be great if you didn't have to pressurise anyone, and you certainly shouldn't force anyone into doing anything against their will. But sometimes you must break an egg to make that omelette.
