• The Art of Rarity
Rarity is not about withdrawing from people & becoming inaccessible, but rather understanding the power of controlled availability. This measured approach to your presence commands attention & appreciation.
When you’re consistently present & readily available, there’s a risk of becoming just another fixture in the background, easily overlooked or taken for granted. However by selectively participating & ensuring that your engagements are meaningful & purposeful, you become a focal point, capturing the attention & respect of those around you.
• The Art of Silence
Silence in this context is not about being distant or aloof, nor is it about staying quiet in the face of injustice or shying away from speaking the truth, but rather about understanding the power of purposeful communication.
Don’t be driven by the constant need for conversation or interaction. You have two ears & one mouth for a reason. Be more observant. And speak when you have something to say. Richard Yates put it better, “Never say anything that doesn’t improve on silence”
This strategy prompts you to consider the timing & context of your speech, ensuring that it carries weight & significance.
The Art of Authenticity
Authenticity prompts you to engage in activities that resonate with your true self. Don’t go clubbing because others are doing so. Don’t smoke or drink because others say it’s cool to. Your engagement in any activity should be borne out of interest & desire.
By embracing your authentic self, you become a genuine source of inspiration & intrigue to others.
As I often say:
“What the world wants from you is your originality, your uniqueness, not the fake you trying by all means to be someone else. There’s only one “YOU” in the entire universe. Don’t give up on him!
