I truly envy those who can network well. For the love of god, I can’t seem to get the hang of how this system works.
My brother is a pro at this. You should see him at work. He knows exactly whom to be in touch with and what to say at the right time. I can’t. The reason-in my head most people fall into the neutral category. You know the types where you don’t care what happens to them in the past, present or future. So even if a person of influence is standing right in front of me, I can’t see him thanks to the blinders I have on.
Plus, is it me or are such people really very difficult to get along with? The reason I say this is coz most people I know fall into this bracket. They either have over-sized egos or are too childish, they bitch or are too into office politics. End result: I run two miles away from them.
But they say that in this day and age it is an art to master. Honestly, I dread the world that is coming to this. What happened to the age-old philosophy of merit and talent? I guess I am old-fashioned and need to move with the times. So, if anyone has any suggestions on how to go about this…do drop me a line. Cheers!!
