RE: The helping hand

in Reflectionslast year

As for me, I have good craft hands, although for the last 15 years I have not used them to their full potential for mastering, I have pressed a little on mental work as well.
As a skilled craftsman, I was engaged in painting, assembling (making) kitchen furniture, wardrobes and various cabinets, installing parquet and laminate, installing facades...
As a skilled friend, I was often called upon to provide assistance.
But over time, individuals have taught me to pull back a little.
It is not possible to work full time at work and spend free time helping.
OK sometimes, but...
I was helping a friend install paneling in his terrace. a whole day of work, I was too tired after that day, but also happy that the work was done and that it turned out nice.
But, after a few months, when I asked for help from that same friend, in a much shorter time (loading some material, an hour's work) he made up an excuse and cut me off...
So yes, I am a man who likes to help, but I choose who it will be...

PS. Greetings to your friends, my neighbors. I am familiar with such mindsets. They know how the most advanced system works, but they don't know how to change a light bulb 😀

Laughed at the light bulb comment...that's exactly how they are. Good people though and that's what matters.
