Can you keep a secret?

Tweet

If a thing is too good to keep to oneself, would you 'spill the beans' to your family,closest friends or relatives? Trusts me, many of us cannot keep secrets. Why? Firstly, we want to be the first conveyor of good news. It is as if there is a contest to be the first messenger.Secondly, we want to be the sad bearer of bad news so that the information reach certain parties quickly. We do not give any chance to the right parties to do it. We think we are doing them a grand favour which we are not! Finally, we give away secrets because we think it is NO BIG DEAL after all! How presumptuous of us! At one time or another, I do give away secrets. Never planned to but I just blurted it out on the weakness of the moment. Or was it habitual? So can you keep a secret? Do tell.
