1. Who was Chanakya?
Chanakya was an Indian teacher, philosopher, economist, jurist and royal advisor. He is traditionally identified as Kauṭilya or Vishnu Gupta, who authored the ancient Indian political treatise, the Arthashastra.
2. Pearls of wisom
During his lifetime -which lasted 350–283 BCE- he was an adviser, strategist, author and politician. His thoughts on various subjects prove to be beneficial if adopted by people even today. A wise man, he had an opinion on various things in the world.
3. What you should not discuss?
A wise man, he has written about a lot of things in life. Below are the four pointers Chanakya thought you should not discuss with anyone if you want to lead a happy life.
4. Money loss
The first thing that Chanakya said not to discuss with people is a financial crunch. If you are going through a financial loss, keep it to yourself.
5. No one helps
The reason for this is that when people come to know about your money problem, they will never help you and even if they show their support, it is fake.
6. Poor and downtrodden
According to him, the poor in the society are not respected. So, one should keep his poverty to himself.
7. Personal problems
The second thing that has to be kept as a secret always according to Chanakya is your personal problems.
8. Ridiculed by people
Chanakya says, that people who share their personal problems with others are always ridiculed and looked down upon. People laugh at them behind their back.
9. Character of your wife
The third thing that needs to be kept as a secret is the character of one’s wife. Those who keep this a secret are wise men at the end of the day.
10. Blabber unwanted things
He said that men who talk about their wives in front of others might say something they did not intend to.
11. Dire consequences
This can in a later stage result in a dire consequence for them.
12. Insult by the poor
The fourth thing that should always remain as a secret is one’s insult by down trodden or the "neglected" of the society. Chanakya thought if you do share such an incident , people might make fun of you.
13. Pride and ego
This will eventually harm your pride and ego, leading to loss in self confidence.
