Say the correct things; be witty, thoughtful, and vaguely philosophical. Don't hammer anyone over the head with facts or subjects too profound for casual conversation. But don't condescend by avoiding subjects that might appear too profound for casual conversation. Avoid those conversations that may appear to be too casual. Allude to the weather only when it suits your mindset.

Speak enough to distract attention away from other troubling aspects. Allow your mind to be the main attraction. Allow everything within your mind and all those aspects of you that emanate from your mind to take positions in the front.

Never allow your subterranean thoughts to surface. Maintain them as nature maintains an untapped artesian well. Never allow your intentions to be recognized or guessed. Leave no trace.

Though you are a mountain, carry yourself like a knoll, or, even better, a common hollow or ravine. Again, leave no trace. Mountains cast long shadows, impose themselves against the sky, and seem persistent. The Earth's tectonic plates had to smash into one another to create the mountains whereas the slow, quiet retreat of glaciers left the knoll. The slow and silently steady course of long un-named creeks created ravines.

Be unique by emphasizing your commonality. Let your descriptive power create ubiquity.

Don't be too sad when you fail and continue to move on alone.
