Do you know – who was the only painter who saw his work hanging in the Louvre when he was alive?
Yes, he was the painting genius Picasso.
It is said that Picasso made money through painting at the age of 25, did not have to worry about money at the age of 28, was already very rich at the age of 38, and became a millionaire at the age of 65.
After his death at the age of 92, he left behind paintings, mansions, cash and other inheritances worth a total of 39.5 billion yuan.
It can be said that in the history of art, there is only one painter who has such a huge amount of wealth before his death, from ancient times to the present.
Net map, invasion and deletion
Such an enviable life, in addition to Picasso's own artistic ability, there is also a crucial point, that is, the ability to self-promote.
There is a story that when Picasso first arrived in Paris, he was poor, because he was not famous at that time, so he could not sell a painting.
So what did he do next?
He hired a few students to walk around the art shop or gallery every day, and then asked the boss before leaving:
"Is there a painting of Picasso here?" "Where can I buy Picasso's paintings?" "Did Picasso come to Paris?" “……”
Soon, the owners of art shops large and small all knew the name, and they thought: Is Picasso a new upstart of painters? Don't miss the opportunity to rush into some Picasso paintings...
When the time came, Picasso appeared with his own paintings, like a hungry wolf, and his paintings were quickly snatched up, and Picasso became famous overnight.
Although this story is a bit exaggerated, it has to be said that Picasso is very smart, he knows how to self-sell, and the importance of self-promotion is no less than his own strength.
Imagine if the painter Van Gogh could sell himself like Picasso while immersing himself in hard painting, perhaps Van Gogh would not have become famous until after his death.
Throughout the ages, the more powerful people are, the more they know the ability to sell themselves.
In Impromptu Speech 2: How Women Influence in Their Lifetime, author Ms. Humphrey says:
"In today's corporate world, nothing is more important than selling or presenting yourself, and only when you sell or present yourself can you get attention and respect."
Deeply.
If I had put it in the past, I would have thought that "self-promotion" was too utilitarian.
However, in today's society, there is a lot of talent, strength is on the one hand, let others see your strength is the other side, and we are only good at showing our own ability, we are more likely to seize the opportunity to meet their own Bole or noble people.
Therefore, do not believe in the "wine is not afraid of deep alleys", if you want to go to a higher level in the workplace, as long as you have the ability, you must seize the opportunity to actively promote yourself, boldly say your strengths and abilities.
For example, during an interview, or when a competitive speech.
But it should be noted that self-promotion is not opportunistic, and when telling others about our achievements, we should be realistic, do not need to boast about our achievements, just firmly and confidently say our views.
Do you agree?
