If you can't get people to listen to you any other way, tell

Summary

This quote suggests that when all other methods of communication fail to capture the attention of others, one powerful tool can be to present information as confidential. By framing the information as exclusive and restricted, it piques people's curiosity and creates a sense of importance and secrecy. This approach may compel individuals to listen, as they desire to be included in something exclusive or fear missing out on valuable information. However, it also highlights the willingness to manipulate others' interest by exploiting their vulnerabilities and desire for insider knowledge.
