Are you a matador?

I've always had this question over what actually makes one to help another and how does the variation of us helping one another happens with one moving higher up in a corporate ladder. Sometimes we think it's ubiquitous and one tends to help less and less as one climbs higher and higher. Somebody actually had a row with me telling me that even thinking about it is futile and it's just too apparent. But I beg to differ for I have found, more than once that is, people who are actually in a high stance in the corporate ladder helping the bloomers in various ways, simply out of goodwill. So as a generalization, I don't think that statement is true, but rather it depends on the circumstance and mostly on the person itself.
If one is brought up in such a way to appreciate the finer things in life, and by finer things I mean the contribution phase, they are more prone to be a helping hand no matter where they reside in. That is the beauty of it, they have realized that actually by lighting another candle, your light doesn't get dimmer. The counterpart of this is where we encounter most of the time and that is why my friend was actually arguing that one just doesn't appreciate helping when they are up the corporate ladder. Of course, I can't blame him either, he has been let down once too much.
Anyway, moving on, the counterpart is actually branches into two categories. There are people who doesn't help at all, but the only thing they do is not helping. They don't show any interest further. But the dangerous kind is the one who acts like matadors. They not only don't help you, but they actually try to run you down. This is mostly an issue of self esteem as far as I could gather through the experiences I could relate from my friends. It it actually a real barrier to get across these types of people. If you come across them, the best thing is to give side and just let them be.
But what actually made me write this post was something happened to me today. It actually made me realize again that no matter what my friend say, people who help without an apparent expectation in mind are there. The best thing about them is, they are really willingly help us and take it up to the next level and do a follow up as well. It's amazing how much self confidence one can gain through simple incidents like this, but I would gladly reckon that it is indeed a pleasure to see such collaboration, dedication and contribution coming with such guidance, all in the face of good will.
I was determined to be a helping hand wherever necessary from the time I've been on my foot, my ground and my decision space and I was more and more determined to keep it that way from all the experiences I've gained throughout the time.
