Good things come to those who initiate.
Networking is an enrichment program, not an entitlement program.
Ninety percent of the people in any group are nice, raised to be polite, and have more in common than not.
They say, You can't give a smile away; it always comes back. The same is true of a kind word or a conversation starter. What goes around, comes around.
Small talk is the biggest talk we do.
Conversation takes practice; the more we do it, the better we get, and the more easily we do it.
