Whatever is yours is yours! If you like tell 1 Billion people about an idea that you have, if it is truly yours they won't find the means nor the time to be able to steal it. A lot of ideas/inventions in Nigeria died with their creators because no one knew. It is simple, most Nigerians have great ideas but lack the funding or the avenue to bring them to reality. DO YOU THINK KEEPING IT INSIDE WOULD REALLY HELP THESE PEOPLE? Ideas without action/investors is basically worthless!

Discrete if you are a yahoo?

This is outdated advice. If I tell someone a business plan I’m thinking up he should start the venture before me. I’ll only use his experience to build myself when I finally attain the necessary resources. A lot of people can think up the same idea, the difference is always in the execution.

We need to very careful these days in relating our plans or next move to someone else.....People can hardly be trusted . Remember, that in all things love all but trust none.

I don't even trust myself

We all know that but to practise it is the problem. The urge to talk about, to show it, to flaunt it is irresistible.

you're a true son of the soil

Only the wise can relate

binarymachine:
We often have the urge to appear impressive to our family, friends and peers both in the way we look and talk, our finances and acquisitions and with our plans. We do this because they also appear impressive to us and we want to also let them see ours too and show that we are also succeeding. For this, we make unnecessary announcements by sharing our plans or next actions and sometimes it lands in the wrong ears.

In this era of social media boom, making announcements and showing off has been made so easy. Everybody is showing off and sharing to everybody, no one is poor or unintelligent on social media. This creates a compulsive feeling or impulse for us to want to show or share ours too. Communication and chatting platforms are everywhere and very affordable too. You can easily chat with someone million miles away and it feels so comfortable and easy to talk because the person is not right in front of you, therefore easy for you to tell your friends and family both far and near what your plans are and what your next move sounds like.

Do not get it all wrong, sharing plans with family and friends is good. It can save you a lot of costly mistakes and help exchange very important ideas that could help boost your plans or give you a fresh interesting one. Social media is also the best thing to happen in our generation. Marketing, trading, socializing, exchange of ideas and customer service have been made easy and efficient. The advantages of social media is so numerous it can not be over estimated.

That been said, never be in a hurry to announce your moves or next plans to everyone who cares to listen. There is no art to find the mind’s construction on the face. That great plan of yours may fall on the wrong or eager ear, be it a friend, family or a stranger on the social media. Many people have had their ideas stolen because they could not control their mouth. You could have the idea but not the resources to implement it, sharing it to the wrong person may see another person making millions of an idea you initially conceived and you cannot prove it.

A lot of other people have had their plans thwarted from the beginning by bad family or friends just because they could not keep it to theirself. You can tell your friends or family about something you intend to do and have a million people wishing you failure. If you fail, you see them throwing jests or sarcasms at you randomly as if it was their failure. Many more have gotten into trouble for what they have shared on the social media.

Don’t trust to much or too easily, keep your plans and moves to yourself and go about it discretely. When you fail, no one knows, when you succeed, everybody celebrates. If you need help and must share your idea, make sure it’s someone you can trust. Hustle and execute your plans in silence, let your success do the announcements and sharing.

Nice Thread. Back then village people use mirror to monitor people but right now all they need Is a mobile phone . if You advice them to keep some things secret they see you as a bad badbelle or old fashioned.

I don't share my ideas in public, with my GF or friends i only let them know no I'm creative all my ideas are in my diary when I get the chance to meet the right people I'll sell it to establish myself instead of losing it to an unknown person. The only person I share my ideas with is my brother No one else no matter how close we're.

I will never forget university days

Discreet : careful and prudent in one's speech or actions, especially in order to keep something confidential or to avoid embarrassment.

Not

Discrete: individually separate and distinct.

millionboi2:
is not just idea

Idea, inventions, plans etc? So many great ideas/inventions or plans have died with their creator because no one knew about them.

Apart from my fellow nairalanders and dominique, I doesn't share my plans with members of the public because they cannot be trust

Thanks for sharing.

Nice article. Thank you.

We seem to have discarded the old age wisdom of being discreet with our next move. Social media seems to have made discreetness hard.

Sharing your plans indescriminately is inappropriate. By sharing it especially if it is grand, you invoke envy in the hearts of human and consequences of such could go beyond affecting your goal by making your chances of acheiving the goal gets slimmer, but you could be inviting trouble.

Stop uploading your uncompleted building, your wife's bump, stop telling the world about the new car you plan on getting.

Don't learn the hard way.

How will my haters know I don arrive yankee if I dey discrete

Bonatheripper:

Better. Cos you have nothing to share, show off or flaunt.

Am impressed by your choice of words.
