In a world where borders are increasingly open and culture flows freely, simply living under the lights, being visible, can carry real economic value.
Surprisingly, size doesn’t always matter.
The stimulus for growth often comes from small things, a slight shift in attention, a modest spark of focus directed toward something or someone on the same level.
It’s paradoxical – and yet, it happens.
Attention brings with it an internal urge to outperform, to overthrow the competitor. But strangely, this rarely speeds up the race.
Instead, it tends to freeze it in motion, holding everyone in place — aware, reactive, locked in a kind of psychological standoff.
