Keep Quiet

Jealousy.

By Rohitha LankaPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Shut up.

Are you buying a house?

Shut up.

Are you buying a new car?

Shut up.

Are you getting married?

Shut up..

Did you get a promotion?

Shut up.

The reason 99% of our dreams don’t happen,

Is the fact that we speak our minds to the wrong people too soon.

We tend to share our success with such people, even if we refer to them as friends.

So shut up.

Some of our family has a secret

The best thing is to shut up.
