Greetings @chbartist, thanks for being back.
"Bridges of life", excellent metaphor to illustrate the people who in some way collaborate with our success; Reading Robert Kiyosaki and Warren Buffett, they pose it as "commercial allies"
Indistinctly the name given to you, you should be grateful to the people who help us, for that reason those relationships should be taken care of and stimulated, so that each day they reinforce, fulfilling one of the goals that should be drawn by each person ; be happy making others happy.
