... or perhaps the advantage is in the ability of people to communicate. I've lived in a few countries and the significant difference between them is how well people communicates (i.e.: to write, to talk, to imagine and put that imagination in writing). US is on top in terms of magnifying something that might be otherwise boring/regular story to a fairy tale. I don't know Jessica or her company that well but I've read many articles that glorify something that may not be true. To put things into perspective: Jessica Mah is bigger than her company or her product. She is the product. I saw many of her coverages focusing mostly on her life story. On the other hand, low energy dull people might finish longer (in life) than most of these short-burst high energy people. Have you thought about that? Most people only see what happen now (aren't we all anyway? the current instant generation). Not too many people care/think/analyze those long-term stretch.
