Умение продвигать себя

The world is unfair. Money and fame are often gained by those who have less knowledge and skills. Unfortunately, the world rewards not the most capable, but those who can promote themselves, or, to put it more cynically, sell themselves.... As long as the world is this way, you need to learn to play by these rules and — win, rather than just survive or perish. Once you learn to promote yourself, most of your other problems related to material success will be solved automatically.
The principles of self-promotion can be formulated just like the rules of arithmetic or grammar. This is exactly what James T. Mangan does in his book. He lays out these rules, providing you with a kind of practical life textbook, which contains all the tricks, techniques, and schemes that can be applied in personal practice, along with all the valuable qualities that will ensure you achieve your most ambitious goals.
You may think that you are too shy, timid, afraid of people, or too ignorant to be the center of attention. You might say that all the necessary qualities for this are given to a person from birth. But you are mistaken! The ability to promote yourself is an acquired skill. Selling yourself is the ability to become an important person, to become SOMEONE. It is worth trying — don’t be so foolish as to tell yourself that it is impossible without even making an honest attempt. Make that attempt — and you will see how the miracle happens!
