Scary. That's seriously f'd, but I don't know what I expected. It shouldn't be a surprise that if you carry a cellphone asking, the govt will use it to track you.

I know the painting (and hopefully the post) is intended to be funny, and it did make me laugh. However as general advice, I think it's terrible. Unfortunately I have worked with many people that think this is true. I don't believe that the way to succeed is to hold others back. True subject matter experts are not afraid of sharing their knowledge and recognize that teaching others does not diminish their value.

Now for the exceptions. This is a good rule for certain types of work or circumstances. Two that come easily to mind are negotiators and magicians. Keep your secrets close!

LMAO if I wasn't so lazy, I'd test your theory. I have no doubt it would prove true.
