I find myself being kind of quite in front of my friends and colleagues about my business goals and actions, but I'm open here and on Facebook and on my personal blog. I can share here where I know people are supportive and similar to me, but don't like to talk much about what I do publicly... I guess that makes me a coward (ouch... not a nice thing to admit 
issed
I'm guess I'm a lil scared of reaction.. which was kind of neutral stare when I shared some things with one colleague. Not too much judgement but I could feel some "WTF?..you? Business?..mmm...". I probably should be more open in everyday life about it. But I don't want to become a boaster "I will do this and that..be this and that and you all will see ..blah blah blah..". That's just not good. I like keeping it secret and then surprising people with results (which will come later on for sure).
Anyone else went/is going through the same?
P.S. this was caused by about True and False Manliness here: http://artofmanliness.com/2009/01/04/manvotional-true-and-false-manliness/
Part of post:
Truthfulness is another element of true manliness.
Lies usually come from cowardice, because men are afraid of standing by their flag, because they shrink from opposition, or because they are conscious of something wrong which they cannot defend, and so conceal. Secret faults, secret purposes, habits of conduct of which we are ashamed, lead to falsehood, and falsehood is cowardice. And thus the sinner is almost necessarily a coward. He shrinks from the light; he hides himself in darkness. Therefore if we wish to be manly, we must not do anything of which we are ashamed. He who lives by firm principles of truth and right, who deceives no one, injures no one, who therefore has nothing to hide, he alone is manly. The bad man may be audacious, but he has no true courage. His manliness is only a pretence, an empty shell, a bold demeanor, with no real firmness behind it.
