NETWORKING IS A CRUCIAL THING IN LIFE

Socializing is one of the most important things for every animal. One
wise man said "no one is an island", indeed we all need
interdependence from one another. To me, acquaintances are the "second
oxygen".

There are many ways to connect with people, one can meet at school,
work or even social media. Today I will be discussing some of the ways
you can connect with people easily.

First, you have to be genuine! What do you really want from this
person? Is it a short or a long term need? This are the kind of
questions you have to ask yourself before getting acquainted with this
person. If your reasons are not genuine enough, don't bother
approaching him/her.

Secondly, you need to connect with people associated to him or her.
Remember your network is your networth! Try to make friendships with
that person's friends, colleagues, family members etc. This is the
secret, the more mutual friends you have with this person, the more
likely you can be friends with him or her!

Thirdly, offer help this person. You may be wondering 'how do I offer
help to a more rich, intelligent, beautiful, or even older person than
I am'? Trust me they need your help! Start by liking or sharing their
stuff on social media, helping them do their assignments, carrying
their hand bag or inviting them for coffee. You will be surprised by
their reactions.

We need people in our lives, to help and to be helped by. So let's be
flexible to make new friends!
