April: You and Horace Slughorn could do with being a little more we and a little less me
Horace Slughorn was excellent at taking care of himself. A mix of shrewd and jolly, he managed to cultivate quite the comfortable, dare we say, elite lifestyle. With friends in high places and a lifetime supply of crystallised pineapple it appears he had it made.
This is something that you relate to. You’re the type of person who values connections, is always ‘networking’ and knows how to schmooze with the best of them.
Yet could you call any of these relationships a true friendship? Would they be there for you in a moment of crisis? Or, like when Slughorn was on the run, do you find yourself on your own? We think that if you make this the year when you stop focusing on what someone can do for you, but what you can also do for them, then you’ll soon find your people.
