"For some of us, the less said about the way we do things the better"

This quote by Mark Strand speaks with the idea that some of us prefer to keep our techniques and processes to ourselves. We may not want to share the details of how we do things, or perhaps talk about them at all. This might be due to the fact that we are embarrassed or ashamed of our approaches, or because we do not wish to be evaluated or criticized for them. It could also be due to the fact that we do not want to hand out our tricks or strategies, or because we merely don't want to draw attention to ourselves. Whatever the factor, this quote recommends that for some of us, it is better to keep our approaches and processes to ourselves, and not to speak about them. This might be a method of safeguarding ourselves from judgement or criticism, or merely a way of keeping our personal privacy.
