the belief that telling someone what you wished for won't come true. similar to when you wish for something on your birthday before you blow out your candles, and you can't tell anyone what you wished for because it won't come true.
the birthday wish rule applies mostly to the law of attraction.
teacher: "what are you planning to do after high school?"
intellectual student: "if it tell you, it won't come true. birthday wish rule. sorry not sorry."
in this situation, the teacher could end up being a mean person and try to use your aspirations against you. for example, if you want to be a famous pop star, they might bully you and make you lose hope, telling you that you'll never amount to anything. of course, they could also be supportive and become a day one. it's up to you. it may involve risk, but it's up to you. always.
to fail and grow is not something you might always want to avoid.
much love !! hadn't seen this word anywhere so decided to create it :)
