What's worth more?

• 400 LinkedIn connections you barely know or 3 who will drop everything to help at a moment's notice? 
• Receiving birthday wishes on Facebook because your network has been prompted to do so, or getting a hand written card from a good friend? 

Less is more in these cases. In your race to have more friends to aid your celebrity persona you may be losing touch the importance of quality relationships. 

Quality relationships start with genuine interest. Valuable relationships feel good, and are not based on a numerical calculation. 

If you have the choice to have 5 or 200 relationships, start with 5. The depth, quality and sustainability will yield more than you can imagine.
