- I stopped sharing my plans — People always want to stay ahead of you, although they won’t tell you. People are jealous by nature. For some reason, people will always find a way to sabotage your plans lest you move faster than them.
- I stopped sharing my weaknesses — People will use anything to make you stumble so they can laugh at you when you fall, and then mourn you when they see you dying. People will use your weaknesses against you when given the chance.
- I stopped revealing my next big move — People are always tracking your next move so they can reach there before you. Always move in silence and shock people with your results.
- I stopped revealing my secrets — Even to my best friends. 9 out of your 10 friends that you have are fake. People will use your secrets to tarnish your image.
- I stopped sharing my failures with people — People will always bring up your past failures to sabotage your positivity and mindset.
- I stopped sharing my family secrets — When it comes to family, this is a no-go area. Revealing your family secrets is tantamount to stripping yourself naked and walking in the streets.
- Complaining — Each time you complain is evidence that you’ve lost control of your life. You’re losing your precious breath as well as your precious time. If you can do anything about it, do it. Otherwise shut up.
- Gossip — I’d rather discuss something useful like an idea, or a new opportunity, instead of wasting my valuable time talking about the shortcomings of people.
- Sharing my photos on Facebook — I don’t have to remind you how evil people impersonating your profile can start sending insulting messages to your best friends, and telling them how stupid they are. The less photos I have on social media, the more I’m at peace with myself.
- Regretting my past — The reason I’m successful today is because of my past mistakes, failures, and successes. If I start regretting them now, then I’m shooting myself in the foot because the past is part of who I am today.
