Confidentiality agreements

I have meant to post this for years, but since I had to tell a few people about it very recently I want to post it now.

If there is anything that is confidential and I am not at liberty to share it with others according to my discretion please do not share it with me.

If you sent me a letter, an e-mail, or leave a message on my answering mashing and give me confidential information and ask me to keep it confidential, this is not a confidentiality agreement. For it to be so, you need to contact me in advance and ask me about it. And my answer in all case will be the same.

There are some things that are truly confidential, but as I said, if you don't trust me to know what to share with who, don't share it with me.

It's better to talk about these things in advance so that there will be no misunderstandings and hurt feelings.

Life can become complicated sometime when you have all these things you need to remember not to share. I forgot once and shared something that was shared to me confidentially. Years had past and I had forgot it was confidential.

Thanks. Sam Ajemian
