Sounds like a nice three days :D and yay for being more alert!
people will be looking for attention, but focus on the reward as their indicator
Did you mean financial specifically? I think pretty much all living things are hyperfocused on reward XD (the brain sees many things as reward even if we don't necessarily).
it will be when normal people make themselves relevant, to a supportive and engaged audience who appreciate them for who they are and what they deliver
That's the dream. Well, my dream anyway XD
