《The 48 Laws of Power in Practice》Law 6: Court Attention at All Costs
Advertisement
This law comes in two parts. 1) All attention is good attention. 2) Create an air of mystery to be noticed and admired.
Application -
To illustrate the first point, think of the Kardashians. When their reality series first came out, people thought it was a joke that they were famous for being famous. But then, they built a serious empire of businesses off of that fame.
Elon Musk also has the mystery power play down. When he throws out off-the-cuff comments on Twitter, people go nuts with both criticism and admiration. But this is good because once you're in the limelight, it's important to keep it fresh. Having a signature look or fun personality quirk will get you noticed and talked about too. Even if that's annoying to some people, you could make the attention work for you.
I used to hate the spotlight so much that I would even be anonymous when giving gifts (how useless). Just this year, I was forced to think about "my brand", as part of the preparation for a series of interviews. This is who you are and what you do in a nutshell, that you can prepare in advance. I recommend creating one as well if you don't like talking about yourself.
We're returning to the office soon, so it's a chance to get more expressive with the way I dress. This is one way I don't mind courting attention because I work in fashion. Let me know your thoughts about these wardrobe pieces? Eccentric in a good way or just wacky?
1) Colorful monochromatic sneakers
2) Pop color cell-phone cross-body holster
3) Balayage ash-blonde long bob hairstyle. I have long and mostly black hair now.
4) Statement glasses, gold-rimmed or pearl white-rimmed. I actually wear glasses so these will be prescription.
5) Silk printed scarf masks. A way to stand out against the sea of basic or disposables.

Persona Non Grata
After the events of Dr. Jose Rizal's second novel "El Filibusterismo", the story follows the tale of the former students Basilio and Isagani in the aftermath of the failed assassination plot against the most powerful governing political figures in the Delos Santos residence. Now a licensed doctor and a tenured businessman, Basilio and Isagani returns to the Philippines after their 10-year venture in Spain and in the United States to spearhead a large-scale project for the Spanish crown. For the first time in the history of the country, the Spanish government has allowed Indios to pioneer major public works, and the Filipinos, seeing this as major milestone of their race, welcomed it cheering and with open arms. It was also during that same year when the new Captain-General was appointed to the Philippines following the scandal involving the outgoing Captain-General, who sent an entire battalion of Indio conscripts to be deliberately slaughtered by a gang of tulisanes led by a man going by the name 'Matanglawin' (Falcon-eye). Leonardo Montes, the incoming Captain-General, was both feared and loved by his subjects. A close friend of the king and reputed for upholding honor, discipline and goodwill among his subjects, he won the confidence of the Cortes and of the Filipino people when political unrest arose during the tenure of his predecessor when he represented the Philippines in the high courts and won the case. However, Montes, now at the early days of his tenure, is faced with a huge and pressing problem: the widespread opium trade in the Philippines. Chinese immigration to the Philippines has increased at an exponential rate since his predecessor came to power and so is the circulation of the substance within the country. And to make matters worse, strange cases of killings and abductions began to terrorize the country, with the motives of the culprit unknown...
