I felt uncomfortable when I saw the statement “self-promotion is not branding,” so I drew it.
-
It is often observed that unpleasant feelings (e.g. hatred, disgust, revulsion, fear) are held toward people who are not good at what they do, but only appeal to others.
-
On the other hand, we often observe people who are competent but lose out due to poor appeal.
-
Some people think, “I don’t want to appeal, but I do want people around me to recognize my abilities.”
-
But people around you are not that interested in you.
-
The fallacy that “if you improve your competence, you will be recognized” is similar to “if you make a good product, you will sell it.”
-
Most people are not capable of correctly perceiving the competence of others.
-
real ability must be demonstrated by [results
-
Just because you think you are “competent” doesn’t mean you are well-informed.
-
Because it is possible for people who are not competent to falsely believe that they are competent.
-
-
But opportunity to get results is not given equally - [Opportunity is a scarce resource.
- Basically, society is a [competitive environment
- Not even equal opportunities to grow in competence.
