Networking

There are people who loves to do networking, to know many ppl of the world. Influence, powers, status: the very elements to pave the way for future glory and demeanour. Every undergraduate should, at least in theory to do social networking to enhance their chances and standing in society, to increase chances for better opportunities. Such is the reality of the undergraduate! Such is the reality of being here in Singapore!

Then I tink there is something really wrong with me! I dislike all these. They bore me real bad! And can networking really get me far up w/o credentials? Maybe it's because I come from a family whereby I can easily get a good job via networks from y uncles who are relatively influential in their own sphere of specialisations in the secular world. Or maybe it's because I do not want to step out of my comfort zone. I dono but even when I tink it through with rationality, I still am not convinced that it brings me marvellous benefits.

Juz gone through soci camp and saw how 2 young ladies, CHarz and Swi brought the camp to its heights with their planning and running the show. Passion, hard work, sweat and tears is wad it took. One of my closest relative's my 2nd uncle. Failed O lvls twice, F9 for E.Maths, went to private JC, screwed it up then go army. Poly education after army and so by the time he graduates, he was already in his later 20s. Today, he commands 5 digit salary and it's not in the 10K but the 20s. He is appointed as a prof with engr. Social networks he had none, so is the case with my 3rd uncle. Yet, they possibly command a enormously great wage.

Btw, I m not saying social networking is lousy, just that I dun understand why some place tat much emphasis on it.
