Shut up about your goals already

Did you know that by telling someone your goal, you'll be less likely to acheive it? It seems as if when you tell others and they affirm it, your mind is essentially tricked into feeling so good about the goal through the social acknowledgement you receive from that affirmation, that it pretty much believes the goal is accomplished. So, you don't do the hard work to achieve it.

Goes against the conventional wisdom but interesting.
