Please don't send just "Hi."

LinkedIn is a professional networking platform. Most people receive dozens of connection requests and messages every week. When a message only says "Hi," it leaves the other person guessing why you reached out and often leads to no response.

You do not need to write a long message. Just add a little context.

For example:

"Hi, I came across your profile and wanted to ask about opportunities in your team."

Or:

"Hi, I saw an opening for [role] at your company. I would really appreciate any guidance or a referral if you think my profile is a fit. Happy to share my resume."

A brief introduction shows respect for the other person's time and makes it much easier for them to help you.

Most people are willing to support others. They just need to know why you're reaching out.

So, it's been a while since I read the book Days at the Morisaki Bookshop, and I loved it. I realized that I like reading feel-good novels. So, I want similar book recommendations that you swear by that will actually make my day better. I have got to know the other part of this novel, More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop. And also, a few names like Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop, is it worth reading?

If I have to recommend a book that you should read once in a lifetime, it would be Tuesdays with Morrie, a Book by Mitch Albom.

Maybe it was one of those books that finds you at the right time. Coz I really needed the guidance in my life.

This book follows the story of a journalist and his old, dying professor as they embark on their final thesis journey, reflecting on what truly matters in life. Honestly, reading this book feels like sitting with an elder, absorbing the wisdom they’ve gathered over a lifetime.

10/10 recommendation. What book would you recommend that people should read at least once?
