power to the people

Was just chatting with an acquaintance online today…and he said something which really struck me.

I was, as usual, complaining about work..and how pay-wise it could be better i.e. commission.
He then commented that rather than only looking for monetary compensation, my customers should be considered as my commission.. At first, I thought he was this overly optimistic and very crazy chap who liked to work for free…Until he said..

“actually that's true u know.. in this world.. we really depends on who you know not what u know..”

Wow, truly! And which I totally, and fully agree with.

At first, when I first graduated, with my head in the clouds, I always thought knowledge (in the know a lot of stuff, read a lot) was power. Wrong!

Knowing the right people in the right places is power. Knowledge in itself is useless.

So, this means more hob-nobbing for me!

Power to the people!
