There is nothing as interesting and amazing as keeping secrets right?… do you know it has its own disadvantages too? You live like you don’t exist, make people wonder and ask questions. These people wonder in confusion for just a single fact; you are familiar, yet strange.


Dark in definition could be something mysterious and also not clear to the understanding.

Secret in its own term could be something kept from the general knowledge and sometimes a mystery.
– Dictionary (WordNet 3.0 Copyright 2006 by Princeton University)


Keeping secrets mostly makes you different from the other person because it shades the other side of you. Is this right?
Secrets are hard to reveal. Most times you feel going anonymous would solve an immediate purpose and most times you feel letting it out would clearly state why you should not be trusted.

Sharing your secrets come with its pros and cons which may sometimes work in your favor or not. Not all secrets can be told, but telling a few can go a long way to helping others.


Example:
Bill Gates’ few secrets to success is a motivation to any beginner (minnow) aiming to be a success in business. lol

  1. Begin today, I mean now – whatever ideas you have, put them into practice as soon as possible. Do not procrastinate because “time waits for no man”.
  2. Believe in new inventions – make use of the most current technologies available depending on your area of business.
  3. Marry the internet – you should be more focused on the internet to be a success in business.
  4. Always and always document new ideas – take notes of every idea that comes to your mind and find out time to do some clear thinking.
  5. Learn from other competitors – “this is important” he said, “I would take out time to visit blogs and sites of my competitors.

These among others are secrets that would go a long way to helping lives. I think with this, we see that it is important to share some secrets. Not all, just a few. Especially the success secrets.


My dad would always say, “When you get married, make sure family secrets remains in the family”.


I noticed that most kids especially teens keep a lot of secrets. Then I thought maybe they’re scared of actions you the parents/ guardians would take after they “let the cat out the bag”. How do you make your kids trust you to that point of letting you know his/her every secret? I think you need to ask yourself that.

  1. Give them listening ears
  2. Give them quality time
  3. Engage in conversations with them
  4. Get to know their friends, male and female without questions
  5. Don’t be over protective even if you are
  6. Share your own secrets with them
  7. Gain their trust by trusting them

I think there are so many more, but I’ll have to stop here.

These are few advantages and disadvantages;


Advantages


• Keeping your secrets gives the world less options to pick a fight
• Dealing with peoples decisions and critics won’t be necessary
• You don’t involve in embarrassing discussions


Disadvantages


• You will be deprived of support and help
• People feel forsaken when your secrets are brought to light one way or another
• People keep away from you


CONCLUSION


In the world today, I have found out that we all have our own opinions to this very topic and if I’m asked what I think about it, I will simply say that it is absolutely okay with me if you need to tell some secrets.


Remember, “The more you leave out, the more you highlight what you leave in.”
