Why Your LinkedIn (or Xing) Network is Not Your Real Asset

Whether searching for a new job or business opportunity or just expanding our network, having real connections is not about the number of contacts we have but the quality of these contacts. Being more connected to people and colleagues is not about having 1000 or even 10,000 on our list, but being connected to the hearts and minds of people we have worked with or met. These are the true connections. It is the credibility and trustworthiness that we have, it is the care and passion for people, it is the drive for excellence and success that are embedded in us whether seen or not.

Our real network is not that list on LinkedIn or Xing. Our real network and real asset is our passion, our love, our care, our reputation, our congruence and our ethics. This is our real network. So whether our list includes 10, 100, 1000, or even 10,000, it doesn’t really matter. What really matters is that this list is built on a very basic foundation of empathy, compassion, greatness and excellence within us.

Note: if you still believe the number of contacts is the real network and asset, check this: for $12 you can get 1000 more LinkedIn contacts right away! Check the link: http://webmasterstore.net/1000-linkedin-connections/ How much cheaper could it get?!

Your Friends Are NOT That List On Facebook

Your real friends are not that list on facebook (even though few of them are on this list). Your friends are not the ones who like your posts or photo or write on your wall. Your true friends are the ones who are in your heart and mind before anything else. Your friends are the ones who remember you in moments you don’t and won’t expect. Your friends are the ones who shared these magic moments in good days and the bad days. Your friends are the ones who stand beside you when your whole world in falling down. Your friends are the ones who make you laugh when you can’t even smile. Your friends are the ones who care for you so deep in their heart even if they don’t write you a message or write on your “wall”.

Your friends give you a special gift everyday; a gift that money can’t buy; the gift of being companion in this life journey. Your friends are the ones who tell you “you can do it” when everyone else tells you, you can’t. Your friends are these special people who have always been and will always be there for you whatever what; whenever you are and wherever you are.

So please, please, please let’s not confuse our friends with this list of facebook or any other social media’s list. Let’s not be proud of the 500+ or 1000+ or 5000+ “friends” list because what’s more important than this number is who will be there for you among all these when facebook wouldn’t exist.
