Visiting Friends with a Zither（58）

Many people rush around various social events, hoping to meet influential individuals, yet their efforts often prove futile. They merely become familiar faces without creating a deep impression or establishing a genuine connection—that sense of shared resonance that makes others feel they belong to the same world.

Based on this understanding that we have designed the "Visiting Friends with a Zither" series. The idea is to convey a shift in mindset: stop "networking" and start "attracting".

In China, the zither is regarded as the most elegant musical instrument. In the composition, an elderly zither master is pruning branches, followed by a young attendant carrying the instrument. The master is willing to visit the recluse living in the mountains precisely because the host is a person of noble character and profound understanding of the zither, capable of resonating with him on a spiritual level—a vivid portrayal of the saying, "Like attracts like, and shared interests draw people together."

So stop “networking” and start “attracting” not by chasing others, but by making yourself the best version.
