# Human Nature Taboos

1. **Plans**
Do not reveal your next steps. Business plans, career transitions, and wealth arrangements must be kept secret until everything is settled.

2. **Ambition**
Wrap ambition in humility. When your strength cannot support your ambition, boastful words become a farce.

3. **Reading People**
There’s no need to expose your ability to see through others. Seeing through people without revealing it is the highest form of cultivation.

4. **Ideas**
Do not promote immature ideas and plans. Revealing them too early can invite theft and exploitation.

5. **Emotional Intelligence**
Emotional intelligence is not social currency. Confiding in others can reopen old wounds and give them a weapon against you. Healing requires locking away the past.

6. **Wealth**
Wealth should wear an invisibility cloak. Do not cry about being poor or flaunt riches. Exposing your savings and debts will attract parasites and ingrate eyes.

7. **Connections**
Connections are not medals. Showing off your network is like destroying your own fortress and may trigger relationship landmines.

8. **Unique Skills**
Your exclusive skills should be locked behind triple locks. Keep the process of your core competitive advantage hidden and reserve your ultimate move.

9. **Family Secrets**
Build firewalls around family issues. Exposing family vulnerabilities is like handing weapons to enemies. Turn your family into a fortress.

10. **Kindness**
Do not test human nature with kindness. Do not use kindness to buy loyalty. Pure good intentions can feed ingratitude. Kindness should come with a sharp edge.
