In this modern day period, it is vital to be really connected with people. People run businesses, schools, countries, NGO's, airports, law and order etc. You name it, it is run by people. How well you do in life ultimately will be determined by how well you are networked. If you have a network of the right people, at the right places, infinite opportunities arise which you can capitalize upon.
One good contact at the right place is worth a hundred contacts at the wrong place. You should aim to get networked with the right people in your life. Who are the right people? Well, these are simply people who have the highest number of right contacts in their network! Simple!
That way, even if you have only 25 well networked contacts, each of whom has a further 50 good contacts, then you have a GOOD network of atleast 1250 contacts. These are people who matter and can make things happen.
Just building a network of average people may help you, but it will be a trial and error method and will involve a lot of time. On the other hand, if you have the right network of people in your Rolodex, then you can utilise these contacts quickly and efficiently, if the need arises. They will be the one with good advice, good contacts and the ability to get work done quickly.
Think about it, isn't there a difference knowing the Dean of your University and knowing the Sports Instructor of the same University? Which one will have more meaningful contacts and who will be able to help you the fastest in matters related to education, admissions or other universities? By no means the sports instructor should be neglected, he or she will be more important in matters of physical fitness to you. Include them also in your network but focus on building good networked contacts.
Ultimately its our network of contacts and our relations with them, which will help us get ahead in life fast.
