CONNECT AND GIVE

2/5/2020

 
A recent meeting with another organization led me to believe that not all efforts are wasted on merely connecting. In the era of social media and autobots, in-person connecting is very primal-it is akin to breathing. We are social beings.

When businesses and organizations connect with one another on the basis of exchange of goods, services, and ideas, an exponential gain happens. But when results do not come quickly or clearly, we tend to see 'connection' events as good to have but not easily transmutable to business bottom lines.

How many connections fizzle away because we force the issue on people, whether it is an idea, ideology, religion, product, or service?

How many connections we didn't even try because we thought, it wasn't worth to even break a leg? 

How many connections just die because both parties have found it to be totally pretentious?

How many connections led to many more fruitful encounters with mutual benefits outweighing the costs of the transactions?

Think about what you have to offer, not what you can get. 

Be a connector between people and learn to give and reciprocate a kind gesture.

We are all in this together whether we acknowledge this or not
