When it comes to the main point that the most important element for success is the personal connection, I do not agree with it. Today, some people resort on this factor for success. However, it just brings them short-term satisfaction ,not leading to productive effort for their lives. In this point, I will present a couple of reasons.
In my experience, there are some people around me who are dependent on other when they want to get a job. Especially, those who are connected with person in upper class of a firm easily overlook an importance of development of knowledge or skill for a job. They think that their position on an occupation is already guaranteed. However, this mindset of them rather generates powerless. They might wander and indulge because they attend colleges or job with an obligation. In a word, it leads them not to endeavor for success because they believe that their destiny of the job has been determined. It obviously hampers our motive to try to study and develop some ability.
In the modern society, the society no longer wants to choose a person by personal connection because it begun to recognize that this custom or way hinders true competition for getting a job. To be success, people should try and struggle to learn skills and to acquire knowledge that is needed to take a upper position on the job. To prove one's ability, in this society, people must be exposed to some different kinds of tests. It indicates that people no longer get a meirt from personal connection.
To sum up, I believe that it is most significant factor for success in this society that people should focus on settling themselves on what they know, but who they know. Of course, personal connection is other way for getting a job. However, I think that ultimately it does not lead people to be success. |
