..and the text does not appear, FUUU:

I use this as it is intended, because it makes me work at my goals more. But I have found that it can be used to build mystery.

Talking about what you do, and why you wont say much (reffereing to the TED talk)

It helps keeping them guessing/ wondering what you are all about, while providing proof that you are driven to obtaining your goals.

To me, telling people my goals is almost like seeking their approval. I wanna let them know I'm gonna do good things and hope they approve. Now for sure I'll keep everything to myself and say "something like that."

IMO, goals are extremely personal and should be kept to his/herself. More importantly, actions speak louder than words. You can tell yourself/others you want to achieve something - which is completely useless. Or rather, you can show others you've achieved something.

Wow, this is a great concise talk. I'm going to use more discretion from now on.

Telling someone what your goals are is like showing your working to the teacher as she stands over you. It immobilises you because you have subjected yourself to judgement.
