About appetite

Hunger is a common thing for us. When we feel hungry in the morning, we usually instinctively look for food. Eating enough at this moment is the best way to fight hunger. Of course, in addition to satiety, we sometimes have to take into account the theory of "breakfast nutritional supplement" mentioned by nutrition experts. However, when you are in the upper class and have breakfast with the upper class, please forget the common sense of nutrition and remember the following rules:

Hunger means need, which is a disgraceful thing. Therefore, when dining with high-class people, ordering food becomes a miniature creative art: a blackberry jam, an egg, a small bottle of mineral water and a small piece of toast constitute the most exquisite menu.

This recipe is also suitable for lunch, simple and chic. Remember that the point of this meal is not what you eat or how much you eat. But you just ate it. This slightly "disrespectful" attitude towards food is a common problem of upper-class people, but it also reflects the reserve and difference of their upper-class status from the side. So, please don't ruin your chance to enter the upper class in a breakfast.

About the first impression

The popular view now will tell us that the first impression is very important, but this statement is not extreme enough. You can never accept this rule in general. Put it first. Because in the upper circles, it is more difficult to change others' first impression of you than to make the earth rotate in the opposite direction. Although judging people by their appearances is not the way, it is the iron law in this circle. Therefore, please remember:

First impressions are everything. If you refuse to accept this rule, you will reap the consequences.

Therefore, it is very important to always wear a pair of clean leather shoes that can show their value. Of course, you don't want others to think of you as those cheap and stained shoes.

No matter how the times change, this law will never change. That's why some people pay $500 to rent a Ferrari sports car in LA or stay in a hotel in new york for three days. All this is to give people the first impression that you are as busy as a bee when dealing with the upper class, and then with Rupert? Murdoch is on the phone, and then with Michael? Isner (President of Disney Company).

About business cards

Don't think that paying $2,000 to invite a high-class person to dinner will impress him, which is a normal thing for them. A more economical way is to send him a business card that you spent 100 dollars when meeting, which may be better. At least you are the most special one in his card book.

Expensive but not tacky business cards will double your value, which is much more cost-effective than advertising in the media.

About the behavior in front of the camera

In front of a photographer with a camera, you may make exaggerated gestures or make rich expressions. This strange attitude is often just a whim. Because of this, your behavior will always be forgiven.

Television cameras are different. It doesn't offer the same friendly manners. Any interview lasting more than three minutes will fix the interviewee in a fixed image, which may take the interviewee twenty years to correct or escape. Elegant guests should try to be polite and quiet, just like highly polished wood. Don't fidget, don't tap your fingers on the desk in the studio, and don't tell jokes that haven't been rehearsed.

On optimism

Optimism is not only an attitude, but also a weapon and disguise.

If something really bad happens to you, such as losing a child or breaking your right hand, you won't get Barbara. Streisand's birthday party invitation, so you might as well imitate the TV host, even when reporting the floods in Ohio or the genocide in Rwanda, they try to smile brightly. Never forget this rule, and let happiness accompany you at all times. Especially when accused of child molestation or tax evasion, your attitude is particularly important. Optimism is your best weapon and disguise. Depression or rage will make your image plummet in the public mind, which is very stupid and unworthy.

If it is difficult for you to control your emotions, you can consult a career counselor of a Hollywood star. They will teach you everything.

About dress

This is a problem that everyone cares about. Don't dress strangely with the idea of "fancy clothes" in order to make yourself look special. In this case, you can only be a "turkey" for everyone to watch in high-class social places.

Choosing inconspicuous colors and inconspicuous decorations can solve any problem about clothing. Movie stars can create fashion effects through strange clothes, or call it "personality". Upper class doesn't have to be like this. What they pursue is an image that can reflect elegance and win respect. Their clothes, like their opinions, should match the furniture and curtains. As far as dress is concerned, a suit is always desirable, while wearing an evening dress can never go wrong.

About private jets

Don't miss the opportunity to travel by private jet. You may meet some important people. If this plane happens to fly to Minneapolis or Palm Beach, even if you want to go to San Francisco or Boston at that time, getting to know these important people will greatly make up for your little inconvenience.

But remember, don't carry drugs (otherwise the whole plane may be confiscated), and you'd better wear old clothes (that is to say, you regard private jet as a necessity, not a luxury). If the owner of the plane is not on board, don't try to hire his mistress or his golf caddy. Be sure to resist the urge to ask drivers to fly over Yosemite National Park at low altitude-you can't make people feel that you have never seen the world.

About a serious attitude

A simple and economical way to make yourself full of weight in high society is to put on a solemn posture. There are many people who can live in high society, and your frivolous behavior will definitely escape their eyes and make you worthless in the circle. So, look at the following rules:

The cause will flourish because of solemn and decent words and deeds, and it will plummet because of frivolous behavior. The general head of the American family giants will sound the following alarm for his descendants or cronies:

Always remember that your mind is full of secrets. These secrets are full of weight and must not be thrown away like scraps of paper.

When you sit at the conference table, you should feel that you are talking like Greenspan, hit the floor or Louis? Vuitton's suitcase shows its identity.

About management image

A well-run image is no less influential in the upper class than a popular brand among the public. He is your best business card. With it, you can run freely in the upper class like a duck to water.

Think about these questions carefully and you will know when to take off your hat and coat. What kind of clothes are suitable for going to Paris with Michael Jordan, and what kind of image is suitable for attending the dinner of international people with the White House spokesman. You will be amazed at the benefits of image management that you pay attention to everywhere.

About the topic

When talking about topics in high-end social occasions, never use excessive topics to attract others' curious eyes. Please remember:

People don't just want to hear an idea, but want to hear a decent statement about this topic.

Generally speaking, talking about the environment is a good topic. For example, the environment is as fragile as the wings of hummingbirds. In addition, you can talk about the media. For example, the media is always misleading. You can also talk about politics in Washington state, such as DC. Corruption is hopeless. Of course, we can also talk about baseball. For example, baseball is more democratic than polo. When talking about art, remember that art is only a decoration of the inner world. When talking about money, say it is sacred and inviolable. If the host of the party says he likes carrots, you should mention Peter Rabbit and the gardens in Connecticut.

About gossip

Never think that gossip is unimportant or irrelevant, then you are all wet. If you can publish some shocking anecdotes, such as the company chairman's infatuation with his feet or the arrest of a movie star, it means that you are also an important person and have extensive contacts with many big people.

Don't indulge in details. You should be knowledgeable, not knowledgeable. Moreover, too detailed description will make you in danger of making a slip of the tongue. Other people in the room (the lawyer of the movie star or the mistress of the company chairman) may have better news, so that you will be regarded as a reader of the cheap tabloid.
