Once I was a shy kind of person, afraid of asking anything, and ready to give up in front of the first difficulty.
Now that I'm more self confident, I discovered that when I put in my mind to obtain something, I can, yes I can ;D
My personal recipe is:
Kindness: when you talk to people in a kind mood, usually they respond in the same way, aggressiveness is often counterproductive.
And moreover, if you ask for help, people often feel great about helping someone.
Firmness: if you know you are right, don't give up. Don't let people trample your rights.
Persistence: again, if you are right, don't give up, if you fail the first time, try to find other ways, insist and persist.
Mental flexibility: it seems opposite to the other points, but with it, you can be open to understand the situation well, what you can obtain, and the way to succeed, keeping in mind other's rights and points of view.
Be patient and be faithful that your need will be met.
And if, after all, you fail, you will know you've done all your best.
But often, he who leaves, loses.
