Secrets becoming more valuable

“All human beings have three lives – public, private and secret” – Gabriel Garcia Mendez.

In an increasingly public and “social” world, your public life will become less and less valuable. It is abundant, so it becomes worthless.

On the other hand, the private and the secret will become more rare. And what is rare is precious.

The most prized places in the future will be where you can enjoy your private and secret lives.

Good attention is rare and expensive

The people with valuable attention have no time.

In order to create something valuable, it has to attract people with valuable attention.

Since people with valuable attention have no time, the “foot in the door” first touch must be short and sweet.

It must be easy to get into it “just for a little while”, and it must be easy to get back to it after being away.

Barnum statements

Used by psychics for cold reading:

Although you might not admit it consciously, you have somewhat of a need for other people to like you and for them to admire you. You do have a tendency to be critical of yourself at times and can be your own worst critic.

You have a great deal of unused capacity which you have not yet turned to your advantage, but you’re always working to become better.

You have a very strong work ethic. On occasion, you have had a tendency to work too hard. Because of this, when others don’t work as hard as you, you have a tendency to feel taken advantage of.

You’re disciplined and controlled on the outside, but on the inside you tend to be a little bit more worrisome and insecure. At times, you’ve had serious doubts as to whether you’ve made the right decision or done the right thing.

You prefer a certain amount of change and variety, and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations.

You pride yourself on being an independent thinker, and do not accept other people’s opinions without satisfactory proof.

You’ve found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others.

There are times when you can be very extroverted, very sociable. But then at other times, you can be very introverted and very reserved. You have high, high aspirations and you set high goals for yourself, some of them, at times, may appear to be unrealistic to other people. But you know what you conceive you can achieve.
