18.Thousands of people impact all aspects of our lives*be it the weatherman at the TV studio in a neigh boy ring city,or the technician at a phone company across the continent,or the woman in Tobago who picks the mangoes for your fruit Scilad.Every day.intentionally or unintentionally,we make a large number of connections with people around the world.Our personal growth and evolution (and the evolution of societies) come about as a result of connecting with our fellow humans,whether as a band of young warriors setting out on a hunt or as a group of co-workers heading out to the local bakery after work on Friday,As a species (物种),we are instinctively(本能地)driven to come logether and form groups of friends,associations and communities,Without them,we cannot exist.
Making connections is what our gray matter does best.It receives information from our sense and processes it by making associations.It grows quickly when it's making connections.
People do the same thing.It's a scientific fact that people who stay socially and physically active hive a longer life.This doesn't mean staying with the same old crowd and going around on an exercise bike.It means getting out and making new friends.
When you make new connections in the outside world you make new connections in the inside world-in your brain.This keeps you young and alert (机警的)-Edward M.Hallowell,in his book Connect,cites the 1979 Alameda County Study by Dr,Lisa Berkman of the Harvard School of Health Sciences.Dr,Berkman and her team carefully looked at 7,000 people-aged 35 to 65,over a period of nine yews.Their study concludes that people who lack social and community connections are almost three times more likely to die of medical illness than those who have more contacts.And all this is independent of socioeconomic status and health practices such as smoking,olcoholic beverage consumption or physical activity!
Other people can also help you take care of your needs and desires,Whatever it is you'd like in this life-romance,a dream job,ticket to the Rose Bowl-the chances are pretty high that you'll need someone's help to get it.If people like you.they will be willing to give you their time and their efforts.And the better the quality of harmonious relationship you have with them,the higher the level of their cooperation.
