Do you remember when we were kids? Many of us had a special secret place to play, such as a club house made from cardboard, tree house, or just a hole in the ground. There was a sense of mystery and excitement about knowing something that others did not know. That same mystery and excitement carries over even when we are adults, obviously by this week's episode. My guest builds creative hidden and secret passages all over the world, from a small compartment in your home to thousands of square feet underground. How cool is that? It was interesting of some of the requests he has had over the years, I mean, we are talking about Indiana Jones kind of requests, such as booby traps and machine guns emerging from under the floor. Fortunately, he told me that he has declined these types of requests. Sorry, but I cannot stop wondering if this is so or not, otherwise, the secret becomes known, and it becomes a revelation. Must be my uncomplimentary nature of cynicism.
The main motivation, however, in creating a hidden place, he was telling me, is to keep important documents and valuables safe, where no one can abscond away with these items. In the many years I have been involved in the real estate industry, there was one occasion the home contained a secret compartment, and this was only revealed after we consummated the transaction. Incidentally, if you want to sell your home quickly, you might consider building a hidden compartment and advertise that your home contains a secret room, you will be astonished the flurry of activity you will receive. I know of one incident where a buyer had buyer’s remorse of purchasing an old Victorian home. He was standing in the back yard looking up at the home, feeling discouraged when he noticed there was a small window between two bedrooms. What is that for? He asked himself. He went up to investigate and there was no entry to this room, it had been plastered over. Therefore, he broke into it and found expensive minks and other valuable items. Could you have a secret room in your home and not know it? Forgive me, but we all have secret rooms, if not, figuratively. What do I mean by that? Psychologists will tell us that we have three personalities. The first, the personality we present to the public, secondly, the personality that is less guarded in relation to family, and third, the secret room of our heart that we do not reveal to anyone. It is the secret heart of the person where the value you possess is stored, imagine how it can be effective. Do not keep it to yourself, build on it, do not keep it a secret, imagine the possibilities how this will enable you to help others.
