Give Up Your Useless Socializing!
In society, interpersonal relationships are essential, but not all circles need to be entered, nor do all friendships need to be formed. If you don't fit a circle, you'll be ridiculed for trying to force your way in, and having too many friends who aren't a good fit won't be of any use. With the rise of WeChat, some people mistakenly believe that adding more people expands their network and leads to more resources. In reality, most social interactions are unproductive; from others' perspective, you appear as a relentless promoter, making it difficult to refuse requests and preventing genuine friendship. Truly smart and discerning individuals understand the wisdom of 'cultivating grass rather than chasing horses,' they don't waste their time and energy on socializing but instead quietly improve themselves, distance themselves from worthless friends, and abandon futile social interactions, focusing on self-improvement and strength.
Following the principle of 'birds of a feather flock together, people gather in groups,' 'birds of the same feather flock together, people gather in groups,' 'close to red plum, close to black ink,' to make good connections, you must first become excellent yourself. To recognize successful people, you must first become successful yourself. Different circles lead to different friends, and entering different circles depends on your own quality. If you're not outstanding, your network will be worthless, and your social interactions will be meaningless. Genuine connections aren't earned through flattering or seeking favors, but through one's own strength and capabilities.
Therefore, abandon your unproductive social interactions. Your network isn't determined by others; it's controlled by yourself. Only when you become outstanding and possess value, will others naturally approach you. Because you have value, they'll be drawn to you; because you've achieved success, they'll want to be your friends. This kind of network is far more convenient than seeking it out yourself. 'Wise people avoid bad friends, and strong people don't chase friends.' Abandon your unproductive social interactions, invest your time and energy in self-improvement, constantly progress and elevate yourself. When you have value and success, there's no need to worry about a small circle or few friends. The people who surround you will be numerous, and the people who approach you will be excellent!
