There is such a fable.
The tiger wrote a letter to the rabbit, which said, "Brother Rabbit, it's my fault that I scared you to hide everywhere. Recently, I reflected on myself and realized that I had gone too far. If you can let bygones be bygones, I'd like to apologize to you. Besides, I brought back a big bag of fresh grass from abroad. It would be a great honor for me if you and your family could like it. I heard that you have three beautiful villas. If you can forgive me, I want to take a gift to visit your magnificent house ... "
After reading the letter, the rabbit was very happy. Since the tiger has this sincerity, it should be tolerant. It immediately wrote back and invited the tiger to visit. The tiger did bring a pack of imported fresh grass. The rabbit showed the tiger around his three villas, and said to the tiger, "Others say' the three caves of the sly rabbit', which is the secret of our life! You must not let others know this secret, otherwise, my family will be doomed ... "
Before the rabbit finished speaking, the tiger ate the rabbit alive, and the family scattered in the other two villas became the tiger's food for a month.
The fate of the rabbit is actually of its own making. It clearly knows that this is a secret related to the life of its family, but it still clearly reveals it to others. However, in real life, such people are not uncommon. When they reveal secrets, they often say, "Don't tell anyone! Or ... "Finally, the person who suffers from it is often himself.
Don't keep secrets from outsiders. If it is only a trivial matter in life, it may only damage a person's reputation or prestige. However, if trade secrets are leaked, I am afraid it will harm the great interests of an enterprise or even many companies.
If you want to succeed in business, you should pay attention to secrecy. This is not only the most basic ethics of businessmen, but also the common sense of survival.
Truly successful enterprises have a strong sense of confidentiality. Coca-Cola Company has always refused to share the formula with its partners, and only a few core people know the "secret formula". You may think that cooperation with others requires honesty, but the fact is that keeping business secrets and getting along well with others are not contradictory. Being too honest sometimes leads to bad intentions. At any time, keeping business secrets should be your bottom line. Businessmen don't need to tell others the secrets and benefits of making money.
Many industries have important business secrets, catering industry has its own unique recipes and formulas, the stock market has new trends and price fluctuations, buildings, jewelry and other products have design drawings, books, newspapers and television have planned topics. In addition, each company also has its own financial budget and loss situation. For those venture capitalists, trade secrets are the only bet and cost, and keeping secrets is related to the fate of enterprises. Therefore, we must be wary of "business spies" and "business spies" lurking around us, and we must not trust people easily.
Once your important secret is revealed, everything about you will be exposed to the world, and your competitors will take the opportunity to take corresponding measures. You are in the light, others are in the dark. As the saying goes, an open gun is easier to hide than an open gun. Your career will suffer a fatal blow, and it may be those job-hoppers who deliberately betray you, cronies who are tempted by inducements, or "spies" sent by opponents that cause you misfortune.
In short, always remember: business secrets are the most important, and nothing can be revealed.
