I never understood people who cling to the notion that "whatever you do you need to have an insider connection". What's up with this dire need?

I happen to befriend a bunch of people in various important places. I used to know them way before where they are now and don't plan to use them in any way. I don't mix life and business. Period. I don't see the need in any sort.

I also happen to know a bunch of people who wants to use these connections for their personal benefit. What I don't understand is why need to go through this while you can still go the direct way like other ten million people who went through it. Its not like you are in a desperate situation where you have no other options. For some bizarre reason, when something comes up, first thing that seems to come to peoples mind is that "Who do I know?" or "Who owes me a favor?". Why can't they do it the normal way?

Everyone says the world is about who you know not what you know. In certain aspect its true but for your everyday life its not. All you have to do is try. If you are right, nothing can go wrong.
