Everyone needs friends and contacts
While we find our way through the next year or two, there are going to be many changes. Orders get cancelled, expenditure is cut, and jobs will go.
If your circumstances change
Change brings opportunity, so accept it is inevitable, and look forward to what it will bring.
Your network is key to finding opportunities, so keep up with your network.
If you stay as you are
You’ll be fortunate, and unusual, but your friends and contacts will need you.
You may be key to them finding opportunity, so keep up with your network.
Change brings uncertainty
In the midst of change, people look for stability. Your tweet, blog post, IM or phone call might be the touch of normality people look for. Don’t stop being a social creature. Keep up with your network.
I was so tempted to have as the previous paragraph:
“Uncertainty brings doubt.
Doubt brings fear
Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate . Hate leads to suffering.”
but I thought leading with Yoda
might be a bit much.
