I long learned ago that its unwise to give the world advance notice of your plans, simply because there are too many envious and malevolent people out there who would like to see you dine on your own words for dinner. If your plans should yield the results youre hoping for, the world will hear about them soon enough. But if things don’t work for you, why give card-carrying members of the World Order of Malevolent Mammals something to cheer about? My advice is that you avoid revealing the heart of your enterprise to more people than are absolutely necessary to bring about its success. He who postpones declaring his purpose, particularly if it involves a major undertaking, envelopes his actions in a veil of mystery that commands respect. A plan fully declared is rarely well thought of, and is fair game for criticism. Instead of arousing universal expectations, its much better to let people wonder and watch.
