Are We Selling?

We'll are selling?

I've been working for more than two years selling online advertising to millions of people. My friends are selling ideas, my brother is selling stocks, my neighbor is selling books. But apart from the professional sales we are making every day, isn't life is an ongoing sale. We sell our marks, our degrees, our looks, and our resumes. We add and we subtract to make the product more interesting. We are always a part of some kinda market, be it job market or dating market or marriage market. If you are not saleable or marketable, you sure would be a product of the past. But why is there an ever growing need to selling yourself. Some people may not like the term selling, but isn’t it what it is. We sell services of our company and our personality. Makes me wonder if life is all about becoming what people like. Becoming buyable. Becoming value for money, becoming luxury. The better you sell the higher price you can quote. Is it too hard to be good just for the sake of yourself and not anyone else? May be, may be not. Because we are social and we’ve grown with and around the society. The marketing would always continue. I just hope the mix would get more creative ;)
