“The world is your oyster!” We tell our children that they can be anything they want to be, when they grow up. We tell them over and over again that they are “special”… that they are “unique”… we want them to believe that they are valued – simply for being what they are!
Then those children grow up…. then we grow up. We become our CV, our Facebook Profile, the guy or girl who does a certain function in the workplace. As we grow older, we find out that no one gives a&^#^$%^!!! who you are as a person… They love you as the DBA, the trainer, the teacher… they love you as the skilled athlete… they love you for your bright eyes and happy smile… but who really cares about you the person?
Love Me For My Utility! – What aspects of me benefit you, or are of interest to you… Take an intricate and vividly colorful tapestry and pixelate it or throw a colored filter over it – eliminating many of the colors and blending together the shades…
“REDEMPTION” – THE SOULMATE!!!
For everyone in the world there is (just) one person who “just gets” you… To everyone else your intrinsic value beyond your utility is negligible… the other 7 billion people in the world, but there is ONE person who see you as exquisite masterpiece… Heck, isn’t that why we focus on the perfect selfies? “Sex (sexy) sells!”
ADVERTISING – No One Is Perfect… But With The Right Representation People Can Think You Are!
Ironically, I spend my days looking into the eyes (dare I say souls) of some of the youngest members of our society… I try to understand what makes little Valentina – Valentina or Sergei – Sergei…
- What gets her excited…
- What bores him…
- What encourages him…
- What does she fear…
My mission after all is NOT to “Teach them English”…
NO… it’s to give them skills that will assist young Sergei and Valentina reach for the Stars!
Teaching is not about “me”… it’s about “THEM”.
BUT in the “ADULT WORLD”, if you are not “sexy” then #$%$@^% you! I mean it OBVIOUS if you are not “sexy” in the first five minutes…
“You ain’t worth my time!”
So heck, if you want Attention, you must advertise! Most people only have time for films and not books and even book readers will put a novel down if it isn’t interesting in the first five pages…
My Take
I find people interesting. Adults and not just children…
What hidden gems does Jack have to be discovered just below the surface…
What rarely devolved talent does Jill reserve for only the closest of her friends…
I don’t need such bombastic “advertisements” such as exposed flesh or a ripped muscular physique to get “excited” about the prospect of finding those pearls.
But… it seems that I am exceedingly rare… I believe that ALL of us have something intriguing. ALL of us have something that will ENRICH my temporal existence on my planet… I am not a SLAVE to Marketers… I will use try to “feel” out the nature of people around me and assume that there is SO MUCH of the world that I am MISSING…
In other words… I have the BIAS that other people HAVE something positive to offer me… whereas it seems that others have the opposite bias…
