What Are the Best Types of Relationships? ? Medical Sales Training ...

?Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.? ? Aristotle

I recently met somebody who proudly claimed to have over 1500 friends on Facebook and to be connected to over 3000 people on LinkediN.? I then made the mistake of asking how many follow him on Twitter, and he proudly stuck his chest out and said. ?Over 750!?? I made the mistake of ?friending? this person on Facebook and, after getting countless updates on topics ranging from his high score on a video game to asking me if I wanted to buy a Virtual Unicorn (what?!!!) from him in some fantasy world, I said, ?ENOUGH!?? And just like that, he was gone from my daily life. I will no longer know things like, ?if he was a color, what color would he be.? Halleluiah!

So what about you? Are you spending too many minutes each day trying to grow your virtual network of friends, family and business associates and too little time strengthening relationships with ?real? friends, family and peers?? Call me wacky, but there is only so much of you to go around and for every minute you spend posting a personal update on Facebook, you have one less minute to spend with your spouse, a friend, a child or a customer. It?s like growing a garden. You can plant as many seeds as you want but they won?t grow unless you water them. And if all you do is plant and not water, you are just a lame gardener.

While I am not saying you should avoid social networking, I am recommending that you don?t waste another minute creating online relationships that you can neither support nor find value in.? So this week, trim the fat! Because in the end, you will not be judged by the number of friends you have on Facebook, but instead by the depth of your closest relationships. Because a few deep relationships are better than a thousand shallow ones.
