The constant desire to prove oneself fills the mind with a feeling of insecurity.
Acharya Chanakya had given the solution to this problem thousands of years ago in his policies. Acharya Chanakya was not only a great teacher but also a visionary thinker. His principles are equally relevant in today’s modern work culture.
1. Silence is the greatest power
Chanakya says that ‘Maunam Sarvarthasadhanam’ i.e. silence is the means to accomplish all tasks. The habit of reacting to everything makes a person look weak. The impact of the words of a person who speaks only when necessary is profound. Silence strengthens a person’s character and thinking. This makes people start taking you seriously.
2. Don’t demonstrate knowledge
According to Chanakya Niti, the aim of education is not just show off, but utility. When you display your knowledge all the time, people start taking it for granted. But when you present your point at the right time, that knowledge becomes effective. Your wisdom and discretion influence people.
3. Personality grows with humility
Chanakya believes that humility is the greatest strength of a person. The person who respects others gets respect himself. Humble nature makes a place in the minds of people. You rise higher not by demeaning others, but by giving them equal status.
4. Honesty and trust are the strongest foundation
Your behavior in office becomes your identity. People automatically start trusting a person who is honest and punctual. The foundation of respect is built on trust. Even without words, a truthful and responsible person becomes worthy of respect.
5. Understand office politics but don’t get involved in it
Chanakya Niti says that it is important to understand politics, but getting involved in it is harmful. Getting involved in office politics affects your image. Therefore, understand the environment but keep yourself away from it. This maintains both your impartiality and honesty.
6. Make a habit of listening
A person who listens carefully to others gets respect everywhere. The habit of listening makes a person humble and intelligent. When you give importance to everyone’s views, people also consider your presence important. This quality makes you valuable among everyone.
7. Learn to give credit to others
Chanakya Niti teaches that a person who appreciates the contributions of others is a real leader. When you praise the hard work of others, respect for you increases in the team. This shows that you are not selfish but a collectively thinking person.
