It is not what you know but who you know. #1 (permalink) Wed Sep 02, 2009 22:42 pm   It is not what you know but who you know.
 

It is not what you know but who you know.

Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

I think that initially whom you know thing will place you to be placed in a situation that is favorable for you? Will you be able to manage that position long enough? However, from there the skills that you bring to that particular situation need to be at acceptable level to justify you being there. Then you will realize primarily factor is what you know.

The goals you want to achieve in your life, you can reach there gradually. Have you ever listened starting of music at crescendo level? School experience and educations gives you path to achieve something. We’ve all heard, "It's not what you know, it's who you know." Whether your definition of success is millionaire, musician, movie star or vice president all requires the help of other people. But those contact will be helpful only if you knowledge and capability. If the pilot does not know How to fly the plan, would he able to fly a plan?

If you have limited knowledge, how are you going to survive? Nobody will respect you. If you don’t know much how will you be able to lead? You will not feel comfortable with others. You can share or talk with co-workers. Without any types of contact in company what you know becomes more important because chance are, you will start at a position that is lower than your intended goal. From there, you will then have to work your way up the company hierarchy. By doing the work assigned to you by applying what you know, you will be able to gain the respect of your peers.

As you can see if you have knowledge, opportunities opens the door it self. Knowledge never goes waste. Sometimes you have to wait longer to achieve something but once you reach there, what potential you truly have and being able to pursue it confidently, authentically and successfully.

Quite good Silky, but a bit dis-jointed. Your last paragraph says everyting that needed to be said.

Hi. thanks for your comment.

wide range of beautiful words and advanced vocabulary. congratulation!

I was wondering If Kitos is a teacher. I suppose that he corrected all mistakes of yours. I couldn't even understand some of your sentences.

1-your ideas does not flow cohesively
2-you does not use advanced grammatical structures.
3-your essay has not introduction and conclusion and you are expected to support your ideas in your writing.
Quite good Silky, but a bit dis-jointed(disjointed). Your last paragraph says everyting(everything) that needed to be said.
Thank you Kitos,yes I am agree with you(I agree with you- agree is a verb-be careful with that), lots of dis-joined(disjointed).

Good luck with your writing.
