admitting your weaknesses to your enemy

some say, a way to get out of trouble is to admit our wrongs...which is true...again others say admitting our weaknesses to our enemy makes them have a upper hand over us...do we want that? Enemy does not necessarily mean some one you do not like or hate but can also mean a rival either in work , school or in general society...weakness can be defined in fear of something or someone ...fear to achieve..fear to communicate..if we admit these to rivals in a group or to an individual ..we set ourselves far behind from reaching our targets and goals..because we admit it ...we give an upper hand or a head start for that person to get past us in whatever we doing ..and will take maximum advantage over us....A way of avoiding this is never admit a weakness...be bold n decision making....have maximum faith in your abilities...and use them to maximum...
