Dear friends, this post is just a reminder that caution is key in order to scale through all the hurdles of life. There are friends, colleagues and family members whose sole business is to bring you down and it is your own responsibility to beware and always be on the look out so that you don't fall into the hands of such humans.

I took a course in English language department in the university and one principle that I have been using even outside the four walls of the classroom is one which was taught in a Speech Act Theory class. It is the maxim of quantity. The Maxim of Quantity relates to the amount of information provided in conversations. It simply means know when to say more and when to less. There are some people that do not deserve to know about some of your plans, some should know when the plan is executed and some could be carried along during the planning and execution.

We have seen cases where someone got close to another person only for the purpose of knowing the person's secrets and decode how to bring him or her down. Experience, they say is the best teacher. There are lots to learn from people's experience and also from your own previous experiences too. It may be difficult to progress in life if you do not make use of your experience in life.

Always be at alert so that you don't fall into the trap of people that wants your downfall. Don't reveal sensitive information to people who you don't trust. Be wise.
