Connections are a potential asset that none of us can afford to ignore. Without a lot of connections, we struggle to do anything.

In other words, the more connections you have, the more power you have. Creating effective, enriching relationships is your shortcut to success.

Although we always say that gold shines everywhere, only if someone can see the light that comes from it. We often meet such people in life, they not only have a high degree of education, but also have a very good ability to work, but they just can't get their ambitions, and even become the object of ridicule behind others' backs.

You may think that they are too unlucky, too hard, and Maxima did not meet Bole. However, this is a completely non-positive thought. The veteran American movie star Kirk Douglas lived in a very poor and depressed life when he was young, and almost no one thought that he would be able to make a difference in the future, especially many well-known directors, who were not optimistic about him at all, let alone become a star.

But once, when Kirk Douglas was taking the train, out of boredom, he started talking to a lady next to him, but he didn't expect it to be this chat, which talked about the turning point in his life. Within days, Kirk Douglas was invited to report to the studio. It turned out that the lady was a well-known producer.

This story illustrates that even if Kirk Douglas is really a thousand-mile horse, his dream will not come true if he does not meet Bole.

Charles Walter, who worked for a major bank in New York City, was once asked to write a report on a company's secrets. And Charles Walter knew there was a man who had the information he needed so much. So, Charles Walter prepared to meet this man. This man was the chairman of a large industrial company, and when Charles Walter was ushered into the chairman's office, a young woman peeked out the door and told the chairman that she had no stamps to give him that day.

He was collecting stamps for his 12-year-old son, the chairman explained to Charles Walter.

Charles Walter got straight to the point and then began to ask questions. And the chairman's answer is always very vague and ambiguous. No matter how much Charles Walter tried, it didn't work.

As a result, the meeting was very short and in fact no substantial progress was made.

Later, Charles Walter remembered what the chairman's secretary said - stamps, 12-year-old son...... Then Charles Walter remembered that his foreign department was collecting stamps — stamps on letters from all over the world.

The next morning, Charles Walter went to him again and sent a message that he had some stamps to give to his children.

When Charles Walter saw the chairman again, the chairman was very polite with a smile on his face. After that, the chairman spent an hour talking to him about stamps, and then he spent another hour and more telling Charles Walter everything he knew. It's like that, it's often very difficult to get things going when you can't connect with the key people, but once you're connected with the key people, things are much easier.
