Networking largely works to strengthen impact.

We are surrounded by people more than anything else—at home, in the office, on tour, in meetings, in prayer, at university, and whatnot. Somewhere, it is dense, and in some instances, it is shallow. This article describes how this networking works—sensefully or simply as nonsense based on personal experiences.
Networking is like a tool that can be used to our advantage or not.
Normally, we dislike being alone. We need people to share the moments of life every time. At times, we share feelings with pet animals too. But it is just to be happy, and it is not the common norm.
Some believe too much in friendship, relationships, connections, and dependence on others. Many have made cautious moves in this direction since childhood. Both approaches to too-deep or too-shallow networking have both merits and demerits, depending on the sense of the connections and their purpose.
We need networking. Most of the time, it works in our favour. In this process, we know the world as extensively as possible. When a person stays in one place and does something solo for their whole life, her or his perspectives are quite different from those of travellers from continent to continent, year after year.
We are born to know the best and the worst of different places. We are here in this world to know what is not yet known to the world. We are not supposed to live in isolation. We are not to remain confined to our profession and occupation. We need to go beyond boundaries again and again.
My experience suggests that there are people who have extended friendships, created connections with people of high status for something wrong in their minds, and then lost the charms of life in this senseless networking. Such people have extraordinary expectations of others without exploring their latent strengths.
It is to be mindful of whether our networking has a meaning to expand our self-worth or is likely to make us worthless in the days to come. So, we need screening for all steps towards networking.
Let us not spoil ourselves by feeling upgraded by the power and fame of others.
We have to be strong first to serve others meaningfully. A student with small circles of friends has done well, and he has served society amazingly later on by pursuing a bright career or innovative work.
Connecting even with a single individual must add something to our individuality. No selfishness. Must be symbiotic in structure and context.
When the intention is to serve the human race, we go on connecting with people realistically and keep ourselves purpose-oriented.
We are all eager to make an impact, but most of us don’t know why, where, or how. In this exercise, we get tagged with damaging connections and lose the bigger game of our whole lives.
Networking needs to be pruned as we do it in our garden, not only for design but also for raising production. Errors may occur, but there are ways to correct them once they are noticed.
In sum, do networking, but get it pruned, as situations demand aiming at serving the people at large. Don’t allow selfishness to ruin the purpose of life.
Ensure that I am not befooling anyone or getting befooled by anyone. Enhance networking and simultaneously raise our capability to serve humanity at a higher level.
Last words: true networking helps us to make an impact.
