避免陷入人脈網的陷阱

並非所有的人脈網都是有益的。事實上，若管理不好，某些人脈網會妨礙你的發展。

以下三種在人脈網中的人物角色，你要特別小心：

1. 偏頗的領導者。你不要過度依賴于與你的形態過於雷同的人。他們只會強化你自己的偏頗。你應該試著與和你的背景不同，或與你的價值觀有些差異的人往來，如此可以擴展你的視野。
2. 只做表面上的交往。一個經營人脈網時經常犯的錯誤，是只與其他人做膚淺的表面來往，以及過度關注相互交往的人數規模。你應該關的是注交往的深度。
3. 成為變色龍。不要隨便改變你的興趣、價值觀、以及個性去迎合其他人。如果如此做，你最終將會發現人們會逐漸疏遠你，而非更接近你。你只要做你自己即可。

Avoid falling into the trap of networking

Not all networking is beneficial. In fact, if you are not well managed, some networks will hinder your development.

You need to be very careful about the following three types of personas in your network:

1. A biased leader. Don't depend too much on people who are too similar to you. They only reinforce your own biases. You should try to communicate with people who are different from your background or your values, so that you can broaden your horizons.
2. Do only superficial communication. A common mistake in networking is to deal only superficially with others and to pay too much attention to the size of people who interact with each other. What you should focus on is the depth of communication.
3. Become a chameleon. Don't change your interests, values, and personality to cater to others. If you do this, you will eventually find that people will gradually alienate you rather than come closer to you. You just need to be yourself.
