It's important to be friends with people outside your immediate
   friends and family. Why? Because opportunities come from people
   you are Weakly Connected to - a friend of a friend of a friend,
   the Great Uncle you never met and don't know much about. The
   reason? People you know tend to be in a similar economic state,
   have similar interests and values. The opportunities (jobs,
   relationships, etc) are more limited if you focus only on the
   people you already know.

   So don't be afraid to add someone you don't know to one of your
   circles: Move outside your comfort zone. You will learn more and
   be a more well rounded person. -Kenneth Udut simplify3@gmail.com
