There are two rules for success in life:

  1. Don’t tell people everything you know.

Cuanta razón hay en esta cita.

  • No le digas al jefe que sabes más que él.
  • No le digas al cliente que sabes que él no sabe lo que quiere.
  • No le digas a tu mujer que la engañas con la vecina del quinto… no, espera. No engañes a tu mujer.
  • No le digas a nadie que el sentido de la vida, el universo y todo lo demás es 42.
  • No le digas a un amigo que la Nintendo DS es mejor que la PSP.

En todos los casos tienes razón, pero, si quieres triunfar en la vida, no digas todo lo que sabes.
