What we know is more important than who we know

One of my lady reader wrote to me and asked this interesting question, " Is it really who we know is more important than what we know?"

I guess she is a young lady in her mid twenties, seeking all ways to reach success. I told her that what we know is more important than who we know. It is advisable to start with solid footing to learn and know more in life. Be knowledgeable first, cause knowledge builds confidence. Later when you are connected with the right people, your confidence will easily help you to move faster. Nobody would give a chance to another person who hasn't the mind. However that person who has the mind and abilities can still achieve success without the connection.

I hope my short statement could be useful to her thinking.
