Goals:NOT to be revealed!!!

Do you have a goal?Do you announce it in public to motivate yourself or to get inspiration
from the people who are close to you?But in the opinion of music entrepreneur Derek Sivers
(as qouted in the NY times) if you announce your goal you have less chances of accomplishing
it.“Any time you have a goal, there are some steps that need to be done, some work that needs to be done in order to achieve it,” says Sivers. “Ideally, you would not be satisfied until you had actually done the work, but when you tell someone your goal, and they acknowledge it, psychologists have found that it’s called a social reality. The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it’s already done. And then, because you’ve felt that satisfaction, you’re less motivated to do the actual hard work necessary.”

So morale of the story is that "Got a plan?Best keep it Quiet....."!!
