Life is about bringing people together and seeing what happens. Just because someone is powerful, rich, or famous doesn't mean they are better than you -we are all equal.
Don't think in terms of connecting with people to get what you want; think about how you can help them. Look for people to develop relationships with. How can you be a connector? Where is there an information gap that you can plug? Try to get to know the person you're talking to. Ask them about their business, their ideal customer, or their goals. Ask what they do for fun and find out what they care about. Seek out these stories and you'll gain valuable insights and maybe even lessons.
Don't be afraid to talk to people--simply strike up a conversation. Offer a compliment - be sincere about it. As you meet people, relationships will follow. Find mentors, advisors, and friends to share goals with. By networking, you will be empowered to find the people who can help you achieve a specific goal. The reason to network is so that you can put yourself out there to meet those people. In the end, it's those relationships that matter - they will make the journey worthwhile.
As you network, you will better understand how aspects of the world work, which will result in your ability to effect change, and ultimately your realization that you really can do anything.
