A Potential Asset

A Potential Asset

Marx: 'Mankind's essence is the sum of social relations, the more abundant the connections, the greater the energy.'

U.S. oil magnate John D. Rockefeller: 'I am willing to pay a higher price to have other skills; to obtain the ability to get along with others."

U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt: 'The first element of success is to know how to improve interpersonal relationships.'

It seems a lot of successful people are telling us that a network of contacts is not money, but an intangible asset and a potential wealth of the justification.
A person without good relations, even with the wealth of knowledge and skills, will not have a room.

U.S. business once conducted a survey on leadership, results showed that:

1. Managers spend an average of 3/4 of their time on dealing with interpersonal relationships.

2. Most of the company's largest expenditure is spent on human resources.

3. Administration of any plan to be implemented, as well as the implementation of the success or failure lies in humans.

Thus, the largest and most important asset of any company is 'people'.

The China matchbox King Lv Chun Mu, was a primary school art teacher. Once, when he saw from a piece of newpaper that the matchbox design was being used to enhance students' interest in learning and create inspiration, he decided to collect matchboxes.

He launched a wide range of communicative activities. First of all, he sent more than 200 letters throughout the match factories, soon received reply from more than 60 match factories, which brought him hundreds of beautiful matchboxes of different kinds.

In 1980, he met a writer of a newspaper, who not only gave him more than 20 matchboxes, but in addition also proposed to him to buy a "matchbox collector Address Book" issued by their publisher. Thus, he was able to get acquainted with more than 100 matchbox collectors.
He not only exchanged his collections with different matchbox collectors, but also with foreign countries through various channels to establish a matchbox collector link.
He was then published on dozens of articles related to matchbox knowledge in the press, and his Matchbox collection is gradually being recognized by the international community matchbox collection organizations.
