If You Want To Stay Happy — Don’t Share These Things With People
If you really want to be happy, no one can stop you. -Anonymous
Stop telling people your business. Some people talk to you so they can talk about you. — Nipsey Hussle
How can I stop telling people, and when should I know I am an oversharer?
There is a gray line.
Pay attention to small things, especially when the conversation gets one-sided.
Think about your privacy.
Don’t share it.
People can use it against you.
My grandmother used to say.
There is a reason we have two ears and one mouth: listen more and talk less.
How and when to stop
Don’t share your weakness.
People will use it against you in the future.
I love to celebrate my accomplishments with family and friends after achieving them.
Don’t share when you start.
I don’t share my future plans with anyone but myself.
I started many ventures in the past; all failed.
I learned valuable lessons, but the key lesson I learned was that I was oversharing.
I only share my side hustle after achieving certain results.
First, I developed a habit of establishing that business with 100% effort, and if it still needed to work out.
Then there is no point in sharing; if it worked out, it’s time to do a family BBQ.
I will eat at the restaurant unless I have to give a huge tip
You are not eating at the restart to make someone happy or giving a huge tip.
My father-in-law has a simple philosophy about tipping that I follow all the time. If the food is good and the waiter is really proactive about everything and also polite, I'll give a good tip.
And if the service is adequate, there is absolutely no tip. With this mentality, I enter each restaurant.
