she stole my Business Plan, I Wish I Never Talked To Her About It
Hello wonderful people of read dot cash community, how is the going with you? Hope you are getting used to the bleeding market and the scarcity nature of our wonderful green baby @TheRandomRewarder . Really been an amazing day today, something happened that got me thinking today, truly the heart of man is desperately wicked. While returning from work today, I met this two pretty ladies fighting seriously, I was concerned , so I had to stop the car and come out. Honestly am someone who likes to mind her business, I don't know what really made me come out. When I did, they were already being separated by some cops nearby, I was curious to know what really happen, since all that was on my mind was, maybe it was some relationship fights, since it's common with the ladies. But it wasn't .
All what the other lady said was, 'she is a cheat, she stole my business plan, that store was all my idea" and she broke down crying. I felt pity for her but couldn't do anything since the fight had already ended, I drove home pondering over those words she said. Could it be she told her friend about her plans ? Why will she betray her trust ? I got home, showered and ate. Went straight to my computer and deleted the draft that I was already preparing, so I could write this one.
Why Do We Have To Tell People About Our Plans
Telling people about our plans really isn't necessary if you will ask me for an advice, I prefer you work it out and get people amazed, then you can start telling them the steps you took.
Here are few reasons for my suggestion;
1) They Could Steal Your Idea And Take Credits For It : Everyone wants to be successful in life by all means, so sharing your idea with people might get it being hijacked and you will be surprised. A lot of people have watched others take their plans from them. That's why most times I prefer not to disclose my privacy to people and a lot of them tag me as being secretive, but it is for my own mental health.
2) Pressure : Telling people about your big plans is like putting yourself in the spotlight, where everyone is watching to know what your next step will be, and why you haven't actualize your dream. I don't think you will want to put yourself into such hectic stress of explaining things to people, hiding from some and even fighting back depression. Remember when the duration of time, you kept to execute your plans elapse, people will start seeing you as a failure or someone who isn't serious with his/her life, and this could be so depressing when you start hearing them mock you. Most times we try to box ourselves to live up to their expections which is really draining mentally.
3) The More You Talk About It, The Less Interesting It Becomes : Most times sharing our goals with people could make us become less interested in them. It could be as a result of negative comments, looking at how tasking the goal Is or seeing some mistakes in it. That's why it is suggested you keep your plans to yourself and only execute it at the right time. Don't allow anyone talk you out of it or discourage or try to add their own opinion to your already mapped out plan.
4) Jealousy : Sharing your goals with plan with people could actually ignite jealousy. Most people are not happy seeing others succeed, talk more of being more successful than them. To them, its a major slap, so such people may try everything possible to talk you out of your big goals, and if they aren't able, they could kill you (sorry, for this mindset) but a lot is going on, all over the world, it might not be common in your country but others, it could be an everyday stuff. Friends get friends killed, simply because they are scared of their friends becoming richer than them.
Conclusion
Sharing our goals with others isn't really safe. Unless it's with people we trust like our spouse. It is better we write our goals down rather than make it a public discussion. If You don't wanna be talked out of it and don't wanna be put under unnecessary pressure, don't share your goals. Rather work silently to achieving them.
I wish you all the best in your journey to greatness..

I think it depends on the kind of person you are sharing with. I have seen some who shared their ideas and got the help and funding needed to execute it. I think we need to study people's content before we feed them with more information. I understand how hard it is to know the heart of humans so I think it's safer to hold your cards to your chest and just know who you are sharing with. Some people are terrible.
