THE EFFICACY OF ABSENCE

Its a new week and we wish all SABTECH readers a lovely and productive week even as you add value to yourselves with this thought.

Robert Green in his book, The 48 Laws of Power, writes:

"Too much circulation makes the price go down: The more you are seen and heard from, the more common you appear. If you are already established in a group, temporary withdrawal from it will make you more talked about, even more admired. You must learn when to leave. Create value through scarcity."

However, note that "the need for withdrawal only comes after you have established your presence... In the beginning, make yourself not scarce but omnipresent. Only what is seen, appreciated, and loved is missed in its absence."

So, which of the following questions would you prefer to be asked?

a. Oh! You are here again?

b. You hardly come around now, I hope all is well with you?
