>> Well, I give you my piece of advice.
I like to give a little quip I always like to say.
A lot of people think that networking is not working.
It's actually really hard because you have to be on all the time.
So my piece of advice for networking is to remember that it's a marathon and not a sprint.
You never know who the next person is that's going to have a significant impact on your life,
but if you don't meet them, I guarantee you they'll have no impact on your life.
It's no different than whether you're in grade school and you're the wallflower
at the school dance and wanted to ask the girl across the hall, or if you're the guy
on the basketball team who just did not want to get in there with the guy who's got
at least a foot taller on you and you have to go guard him, you have to go out there;
you have to put yourself out there.
Because either way, win or lose, at least you're in the game, and that's what life's about:
it's about getting in there, getting dirty, you know, getting some memories,
and then you could talk about them later, like we're doing now.
