someone once told me, "if you seek success, its not what you know but who you know that makes the difference."

i think that statement is a gross oversimplification.

actually, it all comes down to what you know about who you know and what who-you-know knows about you. its probably helpful if who-you-know doesn't know about you-know-who, although tha tmay not be so bad if who-you-know doesn't know what you know about them.

confused?

you should be.
