Leverage, Highlighting Flaws Over Virtues

When your logic is rigorously applied, all you can produce is mere correctness devoid of substance.

When chatting with a girl, what’s the first thing to discuss? You can trust me, it’s definitely not praising her virtues but rather discussing her flaws. By focusing on her flaws, you both unite against a common enemy, transforming into confidants and friends. It’s through friendship that you’ll inevitably tolerate each other’s shortcomings. Only the flaws that are accepted can truly serve as genuine reasons to engage further.

Trust Endorsements You Can’t Do Without

Here are six indispensable trust endorsements:

1. Noble birth. Because 99% of people don’t have it.
2. Wealth. Deep down, everyone has a proof-of-funds certificate, sadly, 99% don’t possess it.
3. Awards and degrees. Doctorates, Nobel Prizes, top industry awards—all capable of catalyzing significant business ventures.
4. Character. Today’s character determines tomorrow’s character, and 99% can achieve it; it’s just a matter of consistency.
5. Works. While creating a blockbuster like “Titanic” is challenging, your poetry or a live streamer’s spicy dance can also be considered works. As Andy Warhol said, everyone has their 15 minutes of fame, and that could be your lifelong trust endorsement.
6. Endorsements from industry leaders. These are invaluable endorsements that one can’t simply seek out. A single sentence from someone with an extensive network often marks the beginning of a business opportunity.
