Connection,Contacts & Human Network

As we go about our day, we meet many people on our way. Some very influential, others appearing ordinary.

 We chat, enquire about their personal-professional whereabouts, and exchange business cards, usually with self interests- consciously or unconsciously

      Most of the times, majority of us pursue those who we think would make difference to our lives, some or the other way. We try to maintain proximity with vested interests in our minds.

While visualizing them as a potential source of benefit, what most of us tend to miss is the genuine connection that we humans are blessed to establish with our fellow humans. As our ears become receptive only to those keywords which our associated with ‘what’s in it for me?’ dictionary that we carefully preserve, we turn our back to the bonding points which could result in  long-lasting human connection whose consequence may be more enriching for the parties involved, elevating them to their next personal, professional & spiritual level.

Seamless Connection is established when only thing expected, is sheer joy of connecting to another human port keeping aside the benefit-centric mindset. 

To establish the connections ,we need to listen. We, seldom, fully concentrate on what the other person is trying to say. Most of the times we are busy preparing for an answer, of a question we are less keen to hear, an answer which will make us look  & sound good. By doing so we tend to miss beautiful garden in search of bushes. Although we  manage for a contact number but miss the bond. This happens because we pretend to be hearing when Active listening is required.   

The word ‘Fast’ has actually slowed our concern levels.

Technology has a role to play.

Every time we choose to dial a friend, sitting in a park, as it has become convenient and cheap too, we miss a chance to meet new people, being open to new views, ideas & possibly great conversations. We fail to see, enjoy & appreciate the connecting links which eventually contribute in building an individual legacy.

Contacts have validity while connections are long-lasting & heartening. Connections lead to ‘win-win’ for the people involved.

To see how much you score on the ‘Connection Quotient ‘scroll down contacts directory/address book of your latest communication device and realize for yourself while technology enables you to make contact with everyone on the list, with how many you can really connect.

                While technology claims to be  connecting people, it’s high  time we realize that technology, material things are to be used and people are to be loved rather than converse to be true.

                As technologists are busy creating 4G, blue-ray, high definition devices to enhance your life, you make sure you have a high speed interface port ,open connecting you to a human nearby.

Technology is meant to enhance life not overwhelm it.
