Are you failing in life? Are you putting in a lot of effort? But someone else takes the credit.
I was facing this problem in my life. And recently, I met a complete failure. Failure is not due to a lack of skill, knowledge, or ability to present. I failed for only one reason. Let me explain a little detail here.
Being frustrated, I start searching. On all books, blogs, and YouTube videos, the same things I found
- goals and planning.
- hard work.
- Accept failure with an open heart.
- perseverance and persistence.
If you apply these things, one day you will succeed.
I am getting frustrated at not knowing why I failed.
The idea came to mind: what about Chanakya? What he taught his student to build a kingdom And why still, some ancient knowledge resurfaces.
When I searched for Chanankiya, I found that we did not know much about him. Being Pakistanis, we have a very bad impression of Chankiaya. I heard he was a very clever man. Not even a single publication on Chanakiya In Pakistan.
Even When I searched on the Internet, I found that only “Radhakrishnan Pillai” wrote some books in the light of the wisdom of Chanakya.
I feel the knowledge and wisdom of Chanakiya have been lost. We are unable to place him like Plato and Socrates.
Thanks to Amazon, I purchased one book, “Think Like Chanakya,” as a kindle.
I used to purchase books on my kindle, and the Amazon kindle app on Windows is a replacement for reading these books.
“Think Like Chankaya” writer Radhakrishnan Pillai sahib mentioned that according to Chanakya, four things are required as subject matter experts.
- Right thinking. You are capable of making the right decisions.
- Knowledge of the Vedas. The Vedas are knowledge of that time. At the moment, I consider it mastering the subject. Bookish knowledge of your field
- Knowledge of the economy. What will sell, and what will not? Demand and supply
- Knowledge and science of Politics.
I discovered the first three points. I am a knowledgeable person. I have already implemented it in my personal and professional lives. The only thing missing is Politics.
I was left behind due to Politics.
Plato: One of the penalties of refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.’
Without politics, you cannot get ahead.
So every task has two parts.
- Do the task.
- Show the completed task.
You cannot be successful until you are able to show your work. Showing your work requires a lot of concentration. We can compete with others only through office politics.
And this is reality.
Previously, I thought politics were bad. But now that I think either is bad or good, I have to learn the art and science of politics. This is the way to go.
