Everyone wants to be connected

Connecting to others is also an essential ingredient in success. The most important opportunities in life come from other people. It would be nice if they granted those opportunities based on merit; a reward for talent or hard work. But that’s not the way the world works. People give you opportunities because they feel connected to you.

“Connectors”—people who have a “special gift for bringing the world together” and “an instinctive and natural gift for making social connections.”
