Essentially, what are the differences between ordinary people and elites, beyond explicit conditions like connections and resources? From my perspective, a significant distinction lies in their varying degrees of acuity towards people and situations.

I'll illustrate this with an example from my own observations. While waiting for food packaging with a friend at a restaurant, we were chatting near the entrance. The restaurant owner said, "Standing is tiring, why don't you go inside and wait?" I immediately grasped the underlying reason and intent: our presence was obstructing the restaurant's entrance. My friend, however, didn't perceive this and simply replied, "It's fine, we're not tired." Eventually, I had to guide my friend to another spot to continue waiting.

This leads to the conclusion that ordinary people tend to have a higher degree of insensitivity, while elites exhibit lower insensitivity. How can this conclusion be applied? Let's take an example: when marketing a product, the first step is to define the target audience – elite or ordinary. Given that ordinary people have higher insensitivity, more straightforward and direct guidance is needed to increase the likelihood of success. Therefore, advertising strategies should take this into account. This entire process involves observing, drawing conclusions, and applying those conclusions to practical situations.

In essence, the key difference, after excluding external factors like connections and resources, is the level of acuity towards people and circumstances.
