In your affairs, create suspense. The oracle of Delphi would talk in a manner where interpretation was difficult and could be construed to mean different things. This is how you should conduct your affairs.
Never reveal all your plans openly and straightforward, rather play your cards close to your chest. Drop hints, let slip small inconsequential things you have playing in your mind.
In this way if a big plan pays off, people will be surprised and genuinely pleased at your success. If however it goes pear shaped, as so often happens in life, there is no room for criticism or mockery at failed plans.
Make plans, work on them, try your best, but keep those plans close until either successful completion or a re-working on a theme. Keep the mystery around you and earn that respect.
