RE: Don’t Tell Anyone That You’re Running a Marathon (or Anything for that Matter...)
This is just a "wow" like it was meant for me. I'm someone who always have the urge to tell my parents whatever project I want to embark on even a new relationship. Not only that it makes you feel like you've accomplished something, it makes you so ashamed of yourself when it doesn't pull through and you feel like a failure. I think it is better you keep a secret, aim at it and succeed and wow everybody. Even if it takes 10 failures before the first success, well, nobody knows about it so you are actually on a safe ground. Nice one @hansikhouse. Great message.
It's only a failure if you make it out to be a single-minded goal when you start, hence the danger of telling others. Goals always change and those failures help reach new ones.
