A person with an outgoing personality is like an enthusiastic salesman who can quickly sell himself to the people around him. If a person wants to achieve obvious performance in social life, he cannot do without the understanding, support and cooperation of others for a moment, and if he wants to be treated well by others, he must first make his own values, goals, requirements, etc. known. This is to promote yourself, and those who hide their true selves everywhere will only be eliminated in a highly competitive environment.

Chen Ziang, a talented man from Sichuan in the Tang Dynasty, entered Beijing to take the exam, and his name was unknown at that time. He spent his days pondering how he could improve his prestige.

Once, there was a man on the street who sold a huqin for a million. The gentry and nobles looked at it for a long time, but no one could tell the real from the fake. At this time, Chen Ziang suddenly appeared in front of the seller and said to the person who sold the piano: "Go to my house and get the money!" I bought it! The crowd was amazed, and Chan replied:

"I'm good at playing this instrument." Everyone said:

"Can I listen to the tune you played?" Chen Ziang said: "If you want, you can meet in Yiyang tomorrow, and I will play for everyone at that time." ”

The next day, everyone rushed to Yiyang, only to see that Chen Ziang had prepared all the wine and food, and Huqin was placed in front of the banquet. After eating and drinking, Chen Ziang excitedly said to everyone:

"I, Chen Ziang, am a talented man in Sichuan, and I have a hundred axes of articles. It's a pity that when I came to the capital, I was unknown to the people. This instrument is played by a lowly musician, so how could I be interested in it? With that, he lifted the huqin and smashed it to the ground, and then presented the scroll to the people who attended the feast.

It is true that within a few days, Chen Ziang's reputation resounded all over the capital.

It seems that the talented Chen Ziang is also very expert in promoting himself. He grasped the psychology of people at that time to pay attention to talent and skills, and attracted people's attention with the help of buying pianos at a high price, and finally achieved the goal of promoting himself.

Coincidentally, there is an old man surnamed Qian in the East China Sea, who also knows how to promote his own truth.

This old man made his fortune from a small family. After I had the money, I wanted to move to the city. Someone told him that there was a house in the city, and the price was seven hundred taels of silver, and the owner was about to sell it, and he should hurry up and buy it. Old man Qian looked at the house, and then negotiated a deal for a thousand taels of silver. The nephews didn't understand it very much, and they all said, "This house has already been priced, what are you spending an extra three hundred taels of silver?" Is there money and nowhere to spend it? The old man laughed and said, "This is not something you can understand. We are a small family, the owner does not sell the house to others but to us, does not raise the price, how can we stop everyone's mouth? Besides, if the homeowner's desires are not satisfied, they will definitely be entangled with you. I spent an extra three hundred taels of silver, and the desire of the owner was satisfied, and those who wanted to buy the house no longer dared to make up their minds about my house. From now on, this house can be passed down from generation to generation as the property of my Qian family. ”

Things were just as the old man Qian expected, after the owner of the other houses sold, most of them were disgusted with the low price, asked for a price increase, and kept arguing, but the house bought by the Qian family did not cause disputes.

Chen Ziang and Old Man Qian's approach has one thing in common, that is, to promote themselves and solve the problems they want to solve by exposing themselves.

As early as the ancient Greek period, powerful princes and nobles hired poets to write hymns to them in order to establish their image. The Romans also employed lobbyists to praise the virtues of their masters. Caesar, a famous figure in Rome, was extremely successful in using the trick of propagating himself. He had been sent to Gaul to take command of his army, and during the march of the Roman legions, he ordered the situation of his army to be sent to Rome in time. These war reports were written in the language of the people, were lively and humorous, and were often recited in the Roman Forum. Because he had done a good job of self-promotion, when he returned to Rome as the leader of the victorious army, the people embraced him as emperor.

Propaganda of its own tactics has gained more and more attention in modern society. After the emergence of public relations, it incorporated self-promotion as the core content into its own system, and further expanded its influence. In a certain sense, it can be said that living in today's era, enterprises will not promote themselves, they will not win more profits, leaders will not promote themselves, they will not be able to gain extensive and far-reaching influence, actors will not promote themselves, there will not be many audiences, teachers will not promote themselves, and they will not be trusted and loved by students......

If you can't promote yourself, you will bury yourself!
