"Connect deeply with others. Our humanity is the one thing that we all have in common." -- Melinda Gates
Many people fail to see the wonders and immense gains they can get from networking, and not just networking but networking to the right set of people.
I consider myself to be blessed because I mingled with the right set of people here. Trust me when I say I have built bridges that will stand for a long time to come. And more than just here, networking anywhere you find yourself truly is key.
You don't have to be the most outspoken person to Network, that's another misconception people have. You could be your quiet reserved self and still be able to network. But in all, do try to mingle and interact with people.
It will gain you alot, and you will also prove yourself to be someone who gives value to others.
