Maybe I’m just a weird, superstitious Nigerian, but I believe that telling people about something you have brewing jinxes it. Until I sign on a dotted line, I usually keep mum. Some people find joy in your failures. Don’t give those folks satisfaction. If you do wanna share your failures, share a lesson too. Not just “OMG, I’m so sad. I didn’t get it.” Don’t mistake your audience for being only well-wishers and friends. Everyone who is connected to you, on your friends list, or as your fan is not necessarily a genuine cheerleader. So pull back a bit.
