Nothing is so easy as parents to raise their expectations of their children too high.A．ofB．toC．byD．for 题目和参考答案——青夏教育精英家教网—

If you're networking (建立人际关系) and nothing is happening, you might need to evaluate how you're doing it. Maybe you show up at each event and still feel challenged by the process. You aggressively talk to people, give out your cards, call endlessly to schedule an appointment but have no real success from your efforts. To help you gain a different future, here are ten habits you should avoid.

Ineffective networkers：

1. Lack patience. They expect immediate results and want business now, not tomorrow.

2. Constantly “selling” something. They see dollar signs every time they shake hands with someone.

3. Too many choices. If they offer a variety of products, they might try too hard to tell about all of them. Offering too much information sends a confusing message making it difficult for people to send referral (指点). Opportunities are all around us but when you're networking, only focus on one.

4. Change positions too often. If they move from company to company or do something totally different, it might be difficult for people to keep up with them.

5. Lack manners and respect. They interrupt others, talk with food in their mouth, aren't very polite and appear unprofessional. They call people during dinner or on the weekends without thinking whether the occasion is suitable.

6. Distribute too many cards and sales literature. They come while loading with brochures, flyers (传单), catalogues and samples.

7. Focus on themselves. Too much self promotion can leave the other person to feel unappreciated. Every sentence begins with “I” and is all about their business.

8. “Talking” instead of “giving”. They don't realize what other people sense when they are being very selfish. Others may think that they are being taken advantage of.

9. Lack authenticity (可靠性) and personal values. They may create unrealistic expectations and not deliver on their promises. Sometimes doing things without integrity (诚实) possibly twists the truth.

10. Poor communication and interpersonal skills. They have trouble speaking effectively, building relationships and following up.

Networking is a process that is an investment of time and money. If you find you're doing any of these habits, consider learning how to improve on these and maximize your results while networking. You'll start to get better at connecting with people and obtain more referrals.

Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”

“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve something. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’ or ‘focus’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological tool”
