Being with people whom we like, who bring happiness to us, are helpful to us in the our work, the ones who bring sanity to our life, add wit, humour and context to life, will certainly take an effort. To cull them out of all we meet and live and have a neat collection of them is not an easy task, nonetheless doable. The effort is keep them together in your life, be a part of their life’s rigmarole as they would be of yours and move ahead in life full of fun and satisfaction.
All the achievements comes to a naught if you have not lived with right people, neither the photo-ops nor the photo-ops character can add any worth to your life. When the arc lights go off and you have to face the harsh reality of life at whatever age, you realize you have already lost that golden chance to create a human network of your own, for yourself. With the buffer of life missing the journey is destined to be uncomfortable. When in success people feel lonely, what would be the case when really get lonely. One should never reach that stage.
YOUR HUMAN NETWORK IS YOUR LIFE.
