When Too-Good-to-be-True Really is True

When and if you're ever lucky enough to come across and take advantage of something that seems to good to be true but really is true, try to keep it a secret as much as possible. There are two reasons I say this.

First, too many beneficiaries will ruin almost any benefit. Most benefits work well only if there is a limited number of people who benefit from them. Once everyone jumps on the bandwagon of a given benefit, you can generally kiss it goodbye.

Second, anything that has an inordinately positive impact on one person or one group of people usually has an inordinately negative impact on another person or another group of people. Once the person or group receiving the negative impact gets wind of its existence, they will likely make every effort they can to put the kibosh on it.
