How to show off and use it correctly
Showing off is a rigid need of people. The desire to be stronger and more awesome than others is ingrained in people's bones. Therefore, any business that has products with show-off attributes and can bring a sense of show-off to the public is mostly a good business:
People think that wearing luxury brand clothes and luxury brand bags can show off. Luxury brands such as Hermes, LV, and Yite perfumes and other leading luxury companies' stocks have been rising all the way, 2 to 5 times in three years;
People think that drinking Moutai also has the attribute of showing off, and Moutai has become China's largest luxury brand. The consensus of wine drinkers is: drinking Moutai is face-saving, and the consensus of stockholders is: buy Moutai when in doubt; Moutai wine prices and stock prices have also soared;
Many young people think that using the latest Apple can also show off a little bit, and in the end, the money in their pockets is earned by Apple shareholders;
Parents think that their children can show off their class and upbringing by learning piano and etiquette, and students think that listening to niche songs that others can't understand can make them appear unique. In essence, they also want to show off or pursue showing off.
The essence of being pretentious is the pursuit of scarcity. Only things that are scarce enough can make you feel superior; if you use things that everyone has to be pretentious, you are just paralyzing yourself. So being pretentious can be divided into real pretentiousness and fake pretentiousness:
You have things that most people don’t have and are out of reach, such as: extremely high power, amazing wealth, rich knowledge, a good house in a big city, a top luxury car, an extraordinary appearance and figure, and humorous conversation; people who have these things are one in a million, and this is how you can be really pretentious;
What you have and pursue can be obtained by most people on tiptoe, for example: you save money and spend a few tens of thousands to buy a brand-name bag, which most white-collar workers can buy after saving money for a few months, but having a brand-name bag can’t bring you anything except self-deceptive vanity; you think that watching an arty niche movie and listening to a niche song will make you look unique in taste, and everyone is drunk but I am sober, but in fact everyone has "unique taste"; this is just pretending to be pretentious, and it is also a reflection of the thinking of these people who are unwilling to pay any price to stand out from the crowd.
The misconception of those who pretend to be cool is that many people will be deceived by the words of capitalists, and think that they have entered the upper class class just because they have brand-name lipstick on their lips, brand-name putty on their faces, and brand-name bags on their shoulders, even if they are bought with credit cards.For the sake of self-deceptive vanity, relatively scarce personal accumulation is exchanged for unlimited over-issued industrial assembly line products.
So what should you do?
People think that they have to save money to buy luxury goods to show off, so you should save money to buy luxury stocks, cut the leeks of those who pretend to be cool and bring yourself wealth;
People think that watching a niche art film or listening to a messy song can show off, so you should take the time to read some art history, or spend a few years practicing a musical instrument, and do these relatively threshold things, so that you may be able to show off a little in a certain occasion in the future;
Little fairies think that they usually go to a western restaurant with Jimei to eat, drink milk tea when they have nothing to do, and then visit exhibitions and travel to take pictures, and feel that their years are quiet and beautiful, so you should fight for your life: lick the ass of the collar D to climb up, work hard to improve your ability to make more money, read more to enrich your knowledge; let the fairies complain about social injustice in a few years.
So, if you want your life to get better and better, or want to be a real big shot, you must throw away the things that pretend to be cool and strive to pursue real scarcity. Store up food, build high walls, and slowly become king.
