Great quote from Michael Goldfarber, the Einstein of Attention.
“The best guarantee for attention is living your life as openly as possible, expressing yourself as publicly as possible as early as possible.” Information attracts attention: to get attention, you need to give information. Receiving information makes you influential. There’s a definition we came to that suggests that influence is the amount of attention you get relative to the amount of attention you give.
People can receive attention even when they’re not there. If you’re reading a Thomas Hardy book, Thomas Hardy is receiving attention even though he’s long gone. That goes through his reputation, his fame, etc.”

This is really true as you think of the old saying that you reap what you sow.
Whatever seed we plant we will get the DNA of that seed back.
Simply said: What you give, you will get back!
