Use the backboard

Yes, a basketball backboard, and also the metaphorical backboards that are everywhere around you if you look.

A backboard is something that is available to everyone and is there to make stuff easier, just like a basketball backboard can make it easier to sink a basket.

The best basketball players use the backboard to help them sink more baskets. An enthusiastic teacher can be a ‘backboard’ to make it easier for you to learn, but only if you ask them to help you.

A friend can be a backboard by helping you talk through something so you understand it better.

Take advantage of what is available to help you.
