Hello Everyone , 🥺❤️

I am here , just to make your day wornderful !!! 🥰☺️ i would like to tell you watching this now that you are so special and diffrent from everyone , No one sees your effort but you are really hard working and soon you will bare fruits of your own !! Keep going we all love you .

In 2009, a man, a journalist by the name Rob Walker,

I wanted to find out this:

Is storytelling really the most powerful tool of all?

And in order to do this,

he went on his computer, and he bought 200 objects from eBay.

And the average price of the objects was about one dollar.

He then called 200 authors, and he asked them,

"Hey, would you like to be part of the 'significant object study'?

Which means that I would like you to write a story to one of the objects."

And 200 authors said yes.

So there he had 200 objects, he had 200 stories,

and I assume that it was with nail-biting anticipation

that he went on eBay again with all the 200 objects.

Would there be a difference? Would there be a change?

Do you think there was a change?

One of the objects was this,

this beautiful horse's head.

There we go.

The beautiful horse's head.

Now, this beautiful horse's head was bought for 99¢

and was sold, when the story was added, for $62.95.

(Laughter)

That is a slight increase of 6395%.

So, was this a one-off situation?

Not really,

because he bought the 200 objects for a total of $129,

selling them for $8000.

Now, that's insane.

But you know what's even more intellectually challenging to understand?

How can you and I

go to the movies and pay good money to watch movies like James Bond,

[that] are absolutely unrealistic?

And we sit there; we enjoy the movie.

And some of us, we really enjoy the movie.

And we leave the theater, going like, "God, what a man!

I would like to be more like him.

I'd like to walk like him. I'd like to talk like him.

I like Bond.

(Laughter)

I wonder how I could be more like Bond."

And then this weird revelation hits you like from nowhere,

and you come up with a brilliant idea to walk to a watchmaker shop.

And wow! It just happens to be an Omega watch in that shop

that resembles the one that Bond was wearing in the movie.

And you pay $10,000 to put that watch on your wrist.

And you leave that store feeling more like Bond.

How is that possible?

PQ Media tells us that 10.5 billion dollars

is turned over in product placement revenue every single year.

How is it possible for you to be so easily tricked

by something so simple as a story?

Because you are tricked.

Well, it all comes down to one core thing,

and that is emotional investment.

The more emotionally invested you are in anything in your life,

the less critical and the less objectively observant you become.

And the greatest emotional investment of all

is falling in love.

Now, falling in love resembles a good story.

Do you remember the last time you fell in love?

Yeah? Good for you. It's a beautiful feeling, isn't it?

(Laughter)

Do you remember how you longed and how you yearned and how you dreamt?

Then you looked at her, and maybe you thought,

"God, I love the way you chew that apple -

so crunchy.

(Laughter)

And the way you slurp that tea, just over the edge, you know.

Oh, it's so sexy.

Love it!"

And then about 13 months later, when you biochemically fall out of love -

13 months later, on an average, you fall out of love -

suddenly you find yourself sitting in the sofa, and you go,

"Jesus Christ, where did this thing come from?

Oh my God! And where are my friends?

This is a weird thing."

Then suddenly you hear a sound; you go like, "What's that?"

You go over to the kitchen, and you look, and you go like,

"Oh, it's you! You're eating an apple there.

Could you just keep that down just a little bit?

You're kind of spraying the table there.

Please, please don't."

And you sit down comfortably again,

and just a minute later,

you hear somebody drinking tea from the kitchen, going (Slurp).

And suddenly, this is all annoying to you.

Have you been there?

Sadly enough,

13 months later,

our critical thinking and our cortex comes home from a one-year-long vacation,

and we start questioning things.

During those 13 months, what happened was that your brain was flooded

with neurotransmitters and hormones hijacking you
