As the saying goes: "Depend on your parents at home and your friends when you go out." When a person grows up, once there is any difficulty, who can he rely on except relatives and friends?
"One more friend, one more road." The more friends, the wider the road, and the greater the possibility of others helping.
Sometimes when we read biographies of celebrities, we will find that these successful people seem to have deep "backgrounds". Look at the genealogy of these celebrities in politics and finance. Their ancestors had three generations of prominent positions, regardless of grandfather, grandmother, father and mother. It seems that the fate of the country is in their hands. People have such strong interpersonal capital that ordinary people envy them.
In fact, making friends is a necessity for everyone, not the exclusive product of politicians or financiers. There are many people around us waiting for you to find out.
Look at your dad! Your father's brother may be a man of considerable status; Similarly, your mother should also check, and cousins of the same generation can also be used as a source of your friends.
Besides, even your in-laws are popular targets ... in this way, depending on your blood relationship, you can gradually expand your network of friends.
Secondly, shift the target to your hometown. "When fellow villagers meet, their eyes are full of tears" and "fellow villagers don't kiss". Because of fellow villagers, we can also make friends smoothly.
Let's talk about classmates again! When people talk about classmates, they bring back sweet memories of their school days.
You may be teammates who play together in a team; May be friends who join the club together; You may have worked in the same company after graduation, and these people are all favorable targets for you to make friends.
In addition to colleagues in the office, people who have had contact with you in the company are also the objects you can consider making friends with, but the question is whether you can continue to associate after leaving this unit.
As long as you find it with your heart and cultivate it sincerely, there are still many places to make friends.
Keeping in touch is another important condition for building a successful network. When a reporter from The New York Times asked former US President Bill Clinton how to maintain his political network, he replied: "Before going to bed every night, I will list all the people I contacted that day on a card, indicating the important details, time, meeting place and some related information, and then enter it into the network database established by my secretary for me. My friends have given me a lot of help over the years. "
The best way to keep in close contact with everyone in your network is to use your calendar creatively and write down those days that are important to your relationship, such as birthdays or anniversary celebrations. On these special days, talk to them on time, even if it's just to send them a card, they will be happy because they know you are thinking of them. Observing their changes in the organization can not be ignored. When your network members are promoted or transferred to other organizations, you should sincerely congratulate them. At the same time, I also revealed my personal situation to the other party. Before going on holiday, give them a call and ask them what they need. Call them to say hello when they are at the bottom of their lives. No matter who is in trouble in your network, you should call him immediately, comfort him and offer help. This is the best way for you to support each other.
Update your network at least once every three months. Ask yourself more: "Why do you want to keep this relationship?" If you don't update or add new people regularly, your network will age and its power will be greatly weakened.
