NETWORKING

Matthew 7:12 - "In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you...."

One of the session on our 2nd day of facilitation is about Our Network, it touches on the area of reflection on how wide our network is, and who we think we would like to improve our level of networking or improve the relationship.

Some of them were asking "why do we need to build our network, isn't being expert in what we do is enough? People will come and ask us to be in their network"

There is a sense of truth in the argument. But as human, we know that relationship takes two to tango. We cannot always sitting in a passive mode and expect our network widen by itself. We need to take part in building our own network, actually, we need to take responsibility in building our relationship with others.

An african proverbs once said "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others"

It is so true! We can't go far by ourselves. We need others, we need to build our network.

Richard Branson affirmed this with his comments "Succeeding in business is all about making connections"

I guess the same advise can be apply in our community life, professional life and even personal life.

To build a successful community, successful career or successful life is about building our connections, and of course it have to be build on top of a strong integrity and values

So, what are we waiting for?
