What's this blog title all about?

I once read that to really enjoy life you should practise being a lamp, a ladder or a lifeboat i.e. helping others to see new things, achieve their goals and know they can ultimately rely on you.  So, that's it - the title of my blog and a daily mantra.  I've also read that no-one actually reads body text any more, which makes titles even more important and suggests that anyone stumbling upon this, will forever think I'm a drama teacher.
