Have you ever wondered why this happens? The great strategist Acharya Chanakya believed that ‘hard work’ to achieve success is just a part, not the whole story. If you are also one of those people who keep telling everyone about their plans, then stop! Perhaps you are unknowingly hitting your own feet. Today we are going to tell you the ‘success formula’ of Chanakya Niti which will make you stand apart from the crowd.
1. Keep your dreams safe from prying eyes (Privacy) Chanakya’s statement was very simple – “Just like a ripe fruit has to be covered to keep it safe so that birds do not spoil it, in the same way keep your plans hidden from the world.” When even before starting your work you tell everyone that “I am going to do this”, then two things happen: First: People’s negative words and opinions confuse you. Second: If you fail by mistake, the same people make fun of you. Therefore, until the result is in hand, keep your mouth shut and do the work ‘underground’.
You have to use ‘discretion’ (intellect). Working hard is good, but smart work is even more important. It is not enough to just work from the time you wake up in the morning till you go to sleep at night, it is also important to see whether that work is having an impact or not.
Chanakya says that it is foolish to make the same mistake again and again, but it is wise to correct the mistake and move ahead.
4. Stay away from free advice when you try something new.
So 10 people come to give 10 types of advice. Most of these things are negative which can bring your moral down. Chanakya’s lesson is that keep your goals so private that no outsider gets a chance to impose his opinion on it. Distance from negative people is the first step to success.
