Yesterday I was again going through my book “Three Paradoxes of a Creative Person.” Of course, very much of what is happening now... And the eighth chapter, of course, it... It is clear that I wrote it still very young, very young, ten years ago or more. And of course, here this text can be understood ambiguously in some parts. So I do not fully, not completely like this chapter. I would, of course, explain all of this more fully, otherwise a person may misunderstand or imagine something. I liked one thing here, which I want to note, I speak about the fact that a person must have a secret. And this is also because I have now come to this again, and immediately at the moment when I have again come to this, I begin to remember that I already wrote about this when I was little. That when you seem to show everything to everyone and tell everyone everything — this is very bad. You seem to waste yourself and scatter yourself, and at the same time you even seem to have no strength afterward, no inner strength, no soul strength, no spiritual strength, as if you waste it. I want now to give an example so that you understand what I meant then, when I was little and wrote this chapter, and what I mean now.

An example. Just imagine... Of course, I will give a material example, it will simply be easier for people to understand. But imagine that you have a car, and you never talked about it, never showed it to anyone, never posted it on social networks. And the maximum you publish, maybe, in social networks, or people often meet you on, is a scooter or a bicycle. Also you, suppose, have, as an example, your own production, some kind of factory, figuratively speaking. Maybe not a factory — production — that, of course, is a rare case for most people. But let us suppose that you have your own hobby, where you paint pictures, and you even exhibit them in a gallery, as an example, and no one knows about it either. And people, who at least know something about you, to form some kind of idea of you, they only know that you work as a nurse, as an example. And now another point, imagine you went somewhere now, to Japan to travel, and before that you were somewhere in Taipei in Taiwan, or somewhere in Busan in Korea. But apart from all of this, where you were, no one knows about it, and everyone only knows that you often go somewhere to the suburbs, to the forest for mushrooms
