Recently, a long-time friend complained to me: She told a private secret to her best and most trusted colleague, and asked the colleague to keep the secret for her. This colleague swore that she would never tell anyone else, but soon discovered that all her colleagues in the company knew the secret and looked at her with strange eyes, making her unable to hold her head high in the company. She had no choice but to resign and find another way out. This friend of mine is a bit carefree and likes to talk. In fact, this is not the first time such a thing has happened. After hearing her complaint, I smiled and said, "Don't be angry. I recently read a very good story. Let me tell you about it: The fox has been coveting the delicious food of the hedgehog for a long time, but he has been suffering from the hedgehog's hard thorns. As soon as the fox comes close, the hedgehog will curl up into a big thorn ball, leaving the fox helpless. The hedgehog and the crow are good friends. One day, the hedgehog was chatting with the crow. The crow was envious of the hedgehog for having such a good armor, and said, "Brother hedgehog, your armor is so good. Even the most cunning fox in the forest can't do anything to you. I really admire you. If only I could have this armor, I wouldn't be bullied by other animals!" "The hedgehog couldn't stand the flattery of the crow, and he felt a little arrogant. He couldn't help but said to the crow: "Actually, my armor is not without its weaknesses. When I curl up all over, there is a small hole in my abdomen that cannot be completely curled up. If I blow into that little hole, I can't stand the itch and my body will open up. "The crow was very surprised when he heard this. The hedgehog said to the crow, "You are my best and most trusted friend. I have only told you this secret. You must keep it secret for me. If it gets out and other animals, especially the nasty fox, know about it, then I will be dead. "The crow said with confidence: Brother Hedgehog, don't worry. You are my good friend and brother. How could I betray you? The magpie is the crow's best friend. During a chat, the crow let it slip and told the magpie the secret of the hedgehog, but asked the magpie not to tell other animals, especially the annoying fox. The magpie also vowed to agree. Later, the magpie accidentally told the wild goose, and the wild goose told the lark. Soon, many animals including the squirrel knew the secret of the hedgehog. Once, the squirrel accidentally fell into the hands of the fox. Just when the fox was about to eat the squirrel, the squirrel suddenly thought of the hedgehog's secret and said to the fox: "Brother Fox, I heard that you really want to taste the deliciousness of the hedgehog. If you let me go, I will tell you the hedgehog's fatal weakness." "The fox rolled his eyes and let go of the squirrel, and the squirrel told the fox the secret of the hedgehog. As you can imagine, when the fox bit the hedgehog and the hedgehog curled up and protected itself with a hard armor as usual, the fox blew air into the small hole in its soft abdomen. The hedgehog, who couldn't stand the itch, had to open his body. When he was about to become a delicious meal in the fox's mouth, the hedgehog shouted in despair: "Crow, I trust you so much, why did you betray me! ??Who betrayed the hedgehog? Is it a crow, a magpie, a wild goose, a lark, a parrot or a squirrel? My friend said nothing and listened thoughtfully to my story. Looking into each other's eyes, I knew that she should understand that "Betrayed the Hedgehog" should have figured out why she was in the previous situations, and perhaps also knew how to keep her secrets in the future. In fact, it is the hedgehog himself who really betrays him. Like hedgehogs, everyone has the softest part of his heart and the secrets he least wants others to know. When walking on an uneven road in life and fighting in a highly competitive workplace, his secrets are his own weaknesses and hidden pains. Only by guarding them well can he better protect himself. Don't blame others for "betraying", keep your secret to yourself.
