To an extent yes!. But to really get somewhere in life get to know the Christ Jesus!. Trust me !.!.!. He will take you places you couldn't dream of!. It will take a lifetime but just as sure as you breathe, He will take you places you could never imagine!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I must say no
and also that that is such a horrible philosophy to stand up for

what matters is what you can do
not what can the others do for you
I mean you need other persons but just as a small support not to get somewhere in life
that my friend you have to do it by yourself!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would saying having connections and knowing the right people definitely is important!. You might not have to work as hard to get into certain positions and doors open for you that might be closed to others!. Many good jobs are given to people bc others vouched for them!. But once you get there, you can't be a complete idiot!. You have to back up your advantage with ability!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That depends on what you call somewhere!.!.!.If you stand up for what you believe in, and learn all you can about what you want in life!.!.!.there is no stopping you!. But if you want to be somebody else idea of what is right and good!.!.!.then yes, you'll need someone to help you up on the pedestal!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's both!.
One really is of very little use without the other!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
