[ Fountains / Drains ]

It’s a good analogy, about the type of people we should want around us most of the time.  It’s better to be surrounded by fountains rather than drains.

Think of those “fountain-ous” people around you: those fountains of energy, or inspiration, even fountains of humour, grace, professionalism, or independent thinking. 

And of course, it’s far too easy to think of the drains: drains on our energy, confidence, time, or well-being.

Be aware that we all have tendencies towards both types.  Few are only ever one type at all times.  And some fountains to one, might be a drain to another.
