“Success is a six step process of
connecting, communicating, understanding, networking, synergizing, and
accomplishing the desired outcomes.” – Professor M.S.Rao
Students must learn to network with
others to enhance their knowledge levels and find more opportunities. Those who
go alone miss many opportunities while those who go along with others will find
ample of opportunities in every aspect of life. By networking with others they
get to know what is happening in this world and develop awareness about career opportunities.
Why do only a few people succeed while
the majority fails in their lives? One of the major reasons is lack of connections
with the right people at the right time. Whether you are in the film industry or IT
sector or any industry, having connections will help others understand your
strengths and approach you when they need specific strengths thus finding opportunities
finally. Research shows that 85 per cent of the job vacancies are filled
through network leaving a very few 15 per cent being advertised in the
newspapers. It shows clearly the importance of connections. Those who have vast connections will reap
rewards within a short time. In addition, in the corporate world there is referral
recruitment where the working employees can refer their known people to their
employers as they know the skills and competencies the people possess within
their known circle. It works in two ways
as the company minimizes its costs through time and money and the employee is
also happy as he is able to help his known circle of friends. The employee who
refers the prospective job aspirant to the employer will also get an incentive.
Therefore, there are lots of advantages
in having connections and broadening the circle of friends. If a drop of rain
falls into an ocean it gets merged into it whereas the same raindrop falls into
a shell it becomes a pearl. Therefore, in real life also, there are many people
who don’t find opportunities due to lack of network.
Remember that in this networked world
connections make a huge difference. Success comes only when the right person is
in the right place and at the right time, and that happens only through
network. To conclude, success is all
about hard work, smart work and network.
Hence, broaden your circle of friends to find more opportunities and achieve
quick success.
"We cannot live only for
ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those
fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back
to us as effects." - Herman Melville
