Secrets

I want to share something I've just read in a book: "The rules of EQ" by Rob Yeung.

"When is a secret not a secret? Answer - when it is shared..."

"...As a very rough rule of thumb, there's a formula for predicting the number of people who actually know your secret, based on the number of people you THINK know about it:

R = N² + 1 (where R = the real number of people who actually know your secret; and N = the number of people you think know your secret)

So if you have just told 1 person your secret (N = 1) then R = 1² + 1 = 2 - two people probably know your secret. If you have told 3 people (N = 3), then R = 3² + 1 =10. In other words 10 people probably know your secret. Not so secret anymore, is it?

SO... How many people did you tell about your secrets?
