Ability is more important than connections. Capable people, when they need personal connections, will get through the personal connections they need in various ways. For example, Ma Yun of Alibaba, when he founded Alibaba, was short of funds, and the bank refused to lend because he had no connections and no asset collateral. But he went to venture capital and vividly described the future of Alibaba with a wonderful speech, which never touched investors. This is the embodiment of his ability. No ability and good interpersonal relationship will help. At a large gathering of China business elites, someone raised the question: there are first-class projects, but second-rate talents; There are also first-class talents running third-rate projects; When guests are asked to choose which project to invest in, most people choose the latter, and a group of first-class talents will certainly be able to make a third-rate project into a first-class project.

It is always said by the master that in the modern workplace, the success or failure of a person's career depends on personal ability accounting for 20%- 15% and interpersonal relationship accounting for 80%-85%.

However, some people tend to handle interpersonal relationships with ease, and most people's personal ability is greater than interpersonal relationship handling ability.

I agree with the words "be a man before doing things" and "learn to be a man before doing things", but in reality, some leaders are not really powerful leaders because their bosses are relatives or spend a long time with them. Often for such leaders, what matters is not whether you can become a "person", but whether you can kiss up to them, give gifts or eat, drink and be merry.

The ability to deal with interpersonal relationships is also a part of personal ability. So the so-called "personal ability accounts for 20%- 15%, while interpersonal relationship accounts for 80%-85%." This statement is not rigorous and scientific.

Imagine that a person does not have good communication skills, expression skills, teamwork skills, social skills, psychological endurance and so on. Then even if the "relationship" is given to him, he can't maintain it.

If there is no "ability" as the foundation and support, the "relationship" can't be gathered anyway, and it won't last long.

Without connections, the starting point will be a little lower than others, the starting point will be a little slower, and the journey may be a little longer, but as long as you believe in your ability, you will definitely find your own world ~

Hei Youlong, the head of Carnegie Training Zone, pointed out that this sentence does not tell people not to cultivate professional knowledge, but emphasizes: "Networking is the ticket to wealth and success." But is it enough to have tickets for a person's development? What we need more is an ability that enables us to develop for a long time.

Networking should be based on ability, and networking without ability is useless. . Be scolded by others every day.

Networking can only help you for a while, and ability is the capital of your lifelong development.

But after all, there are only a few competitors with so-called connections. In China, a country with a huge population, there are still many people who have no connections to eat, and their competition can only rely on their ability. Although it is not excluded that a few people rely on relationships.

To affect income, but for most people, ability can determine income more, and ability can bring higher and more stable income.

Therefore, in any case, actively improving their social competitiveness is still the primary competitive strategy that cannot be ignored.

Often only excellent people have effective contacts. It is precisely because these people may want to avoid the attempt of "unfair exchange" anytime and anywhere, so they pay more attention to their own quality and know that it is a virtue not to cause trouble to others. As the saying goes, "keeping old friends in trouble" is a very accurate observation. Those who are not excellent often don't know this seemingly simple truth, or even realize that their situation can only make them play the role of "catcher"; Then turn every "exchange" into an "unfair exchange", which makes it easier for the exchange to fail-because no one likes "unfair exchange"; Every time the exchange fails, it will further cause its own losses, reduce the quantity or quality of its own resources, and further make it more likely that it will become a "requester"-a vicious circle, and may even never turn over. There are still some people who are too eager to establish so-called contacts and completely ignore their own situation. For such people, people often use some special words to describe them, such as "flattery", "flattery", "bullying" and even "nepotism". When a person is surrounded by excellent people, no one asks him for help-because almost all these excellent people around him are ashamed of wasting other people's time, and these people can also encounter problems.
