Everyone has a problem, but if yours become so alarming others will leave theirs and debate yours. There are things you should share with people, and there are things you never share with people no matter how close they are to you. Albert Einstein summarized those things into just five because if you are able to keep these five things private, other things will fall into place. Let’s look at the five things you should never share with people by Albert Einstein.
Number one, the secret of your success. This does not mean that you cannot motivate and inspire people with your success, but going about sharing those secrets to your success with everyone is not advisable. In this world we live in, you don’t actually know what people are really made of. We still have good ones, no doubt. It will be an advantage for you to go about your normal business without having to share how and the things you do in secret that make you more successful than others.
If you tell someone the secret of your success, people will try to do the same thing. But if they fail, they will accuse you of not telling them the truth. So never tell anybody the secret of your success. Number two, don’t share your problem with anyone. Sharing our problems makes us feel lighter and less burden, But instead of solving the problem, telling it to people can actually increase it.
In fact, 70% of people are happy to hear about your problem and 10% really care. So think twice before telling someone your problem. When you go about sharing your problems with people, you open yourself up to be used as an objective gossip. So many people don’t really care about your problems. Some of them are happy that you have them.
The best thing you can do for yourself is to to find a way to solve your problems without opening yourself to people. No matter how much you trust them, your problem should remain private unless you are sharing it with your doctor, therapist, or other professionals for professional advice and help. Number three, don’t share your dreams with anyone. If you have already set your goals and your dreams in life, it is best to keep them to yourself because sharing them can affect your point of view and your purpose and you can get caught up in it. Always remember that you cannot get the same advice or opinion from others because everybody has a different point of view.
Talking about point of view, your dream may seem like a joke or even worthless to so many people. You might be seeing light while they are seeing darkness. Point of view differs. Everyone must not agree with you, but that is not a problem. Keep it to yourself and work on it consistently until it becomes a reality.
Number four. Don’t share with anyone how much you earn. Your income is definitely something that others should not be aware of. If you go about sharing everything about your income and personal finance with people, you will soon attract unnecessary hatred for yourself. Your income and personal finances should be between you and yourself.
If you need advice concerning your money, you should channel the questions to the appropriate authority, not to your friends. Number five, don’t share your family problems with anyone. There is no family that don’t have a problem. Some have big problems, while some have small ones. But sharing the problem with someone would never solve these problems.
Sharing with others only aggravate the problem. It is called family problems and it should remain within the family and its members. No third party should take part in it. Every family has its own different problem, but if yours becomes too alarming, others will leave theirs and debate yours. Finally, there are so many things to be kept private, but these five are very important.
If you can privatize them, others will fall into place.
