Hercules and the Wagoner
from http://classics.mit.edu/Aesop/fab.1.1.html#112

A carter was driving a wagon along a country lane, when the wheels sank down deep into a rut. The rustic driver, stupefied and aghast, stood looking at the wagon, and did nothing but utter loud cries to Hercules to come and help him. Hercules, it is said, appeared and thus addressed him: "Put your shoulders to the wheels, my man. Goad on your bullocks, and never more pray to me for help, until you have done your best to help yourself, or depend upon it you will henceforth pray in vain."

Self-help is the best help.

遇到问题先自己动脑，不要一遇到问题就想着求助于人，学会自立比什么都重要。“依赖他人”的想法一旦成为习惯是相当可怕的。
