Woman, Don’t Just Admire that man — ASK HIM FOR HELP.

One of the simplest ways to connect with people is to ask them for help.

Many times, we really want to know people; we want to connect; introverts go for a networking meeting and sit by the corner, never knowing how to make a new friend. Men and women, boys and girls, admire one another all day but never know the first step to take to connect. Amongst the several ways by which anyone might be able to strike a connection, one easy one is to look for some help to ask from the party you want to connect with.

It is so simple, and anyone can do it. If you take your mind back to your childhood, it was way easier in elementary school to make friends. Now you are 35, and you hardly ever gain a new friend in a whole year. The simple reason is that your ego and personality have gotten in the way. But to make any headway in life, you need people, plenty of them. All the negative jabbing about people favoring the people they know is all nonsense. Who else should I show favour to if not the people I know? I have a vacancy before me, and I know a guy who can do it better than I even want. Do you think I want to try out a stranger? The answer is in the question, of course, no.

I usually tell my students that the art of getting to connect with people is not reserved for a select few. If this is how life works, then get into life and stop complaining…
