Rodney said in the lesson that attention is a potential wealth. I am not so sure whether it is true because I was wondering at that time that if someone is getting attention because he/she is extremely ugly, then what kind of potential wealth could he/she get? But when I think again, maybe some companies will approach him/her for inviting him/her for being the spokesperson for their companies to prove that after taking the treatment or plastic surgery from them, they can look good too. That would be more convincing and then they could make money out of their attention.
Here is an example:
This man was a beggar in China. Once a tourist took a picture on the street and posted the picture onto the social networking website. People discovered that there was a cool beggar in the picture! He was getting the world’s attention because he has a really excellent fashion sense as he looks so cool and fashionable. He knows perfectly how to mix and match. What he wore was just like what the model wore on a catwalk show! After he has got the attention, he received help from many people. Finally he was being sent back to his home and no need to be a beggar anymore. Different companies would like to hire him as a model and walk for some catwalk shows since he was such a hot topic. His “value” seems to have based on the amount of attention he has got. Attention has actually turned him from a beggar to a model! Other cool models were being discovered too after this but since they are not original anymore, they are not able to get as much attention as him.
