If we were keeping with the wire analogy I'd put luck as the insulating foil layer around the wire. Keeps the signal clear from outside influence.

Couple of friends are currently moving into a new house that needs to be done up (lots of work eeded etc...)
So far, im the only friend of theirs who has helped them, and its been multiple occasions and theyve turned down more help due to other reasons (not doing much on it on certain days etc)

Was shocked when I found out no-one else was helping them since they have quite a big friend group of people who could have helped

There’s a lot shitty comments but I kind of love this. I think we have to be doing, learning, and improving simultaneously to achieve any sort of success.

I always have trouble figuring out how to balance this one with nepotism. I grew up with nothing and likely wouldn't be where I am if a handful of people hadn't taken me under their wings, helped me out, given me a chance etc... There has never been any way for me to repay them because they've always had more than I do and never really needed help that I could give...

Now I'm on a position where I can return the favors some, but almost exclusively by either hooking their kids up with jobs or giving them goof deals and opportunities business wise... Which means I'm either a shitty person for perpetuating the nepotism that used to drive me nuts, or I'm a shitty person for not helping the people who helped me.
