Events are for the sake of the networks.? Is the reverse true?? When it is true, the work of the network is limited to the event.? Whereas, if events are for the sake of networking, numerous events are possible — both in preparation for the event and in order to evaluate the event.? But the preparations and evaluations, as valuable as they are in themselves, are arranged for the development of the networks, for networking opportunities, and not for the accrual of specific bits of information.
This attitude towards events and gatherings represents a primary difference between formal and informal networks and?communication routes.? ?
Does The Party exist for networking?? Or does The Party exist for itself?? Herein lies the great paradox.? For if, in pursuit of producing the great event, it is forgotten that The Party exists and requires devotion, responsibility, and cultivation, both The Party and the integrity of the human networks will suffer.? So serving The Party or serving THE GUESTS must be?counted as the pre-eminent duty of the time, even though the networks are the life.? To create a good event is the very means of developing a network with integrity.? Smile!
