A gift gets attention; it buys the attention of eminent people.

Attention=careful notice

Eminence = high repute

That's true - If your intent is to butter me up to get my attention - to get me to do something  that YOU want.  Giving me something I want - first - sure will do the trick.

The fancier the outside rappings - most likely the quicker the recipient will accept. But then isn't that puting strings  attached to the gift?  I've padded your ego with a gift you wanted so now you owe me what I want?

That might work for a while , but people will soon see through that trick and be leary of future gifts.

A true gift should always be - no strings attached - without compinsation
