I think there are two ways other people often create beauty that I notice: pointing things out that I might otherwise have skipped over and living basically awesome lives that I admire.
If experiences are a form of creation, then reminding people of what they already know definitely is, because hearing the same thing 20 times can create 20 experiences. I can personally attest to this :)
I think asking for help when you need it is hard partly because it's very hard to hear "no," even if we logically accept that in real life, sometimes people will need to say that. In this way, I think it's good to have more than one option, so that "no" from someone doesn't mean "you don't get that help." Also, I think many of us tend to sort of unconsciously "save up" requests for when we "really need them," thinking that this will make it more likely for them to be fulfilled -- but that's a contract that only works when everyone agrees to it!
Whether I care about form as well as function depends on the thing, and not along any axis I can identify clearly enough to articulate!
