Youth is that stage of life where there is energy, enthusiasm and many dreams about the future. As the age approaches thirty (30), responsibilities start increasing and decisions directly impact the future. Acharya Chanakya, also known as Kautilya and Vishnugupta, has given very accurate and practical things on every aspect of life in his famous policy ‘Chanakya Niti’. If you are young and about to turn 30, then these 9 lessons of Chanakya can completely change your way of thinking.
1. Avoid excessive honesty
The first and most important lesson of Acharya Chanakya is that one should never be overly straightforward or honest. According to Chanakya, only simple trees are cut first, similarly, people with extremely simple and straightforward nature are the first to face problems and losses in the world. Therefore, it is very important to be practical according to the circumstances.
2. Let go of regrets about the past and worries about the future
Most of the youth are worried about the mistakes of their past or are afraid of the uncertainty of the future. Chanakya says that one should neither be worried about the past nor worry too much about the future. A sensible and rational person always believes in living in the present moment and tries to make today better.
3. Face fear boldly and destroy it
Everyone is afraid of failure or challenges in life, but one should not let fear dominate us. Chanakya believes that whenever you feel that fear of something is dominating you, you should immediately face that situation and eliminate that fear from its roots, otherwise it will stop you from moving forward.
4. Always keep your plans and goals a secret
In today’s time, youth often share their every success or plan on social media or with friends. Acharya Chanakya was strictly against this. He said that whatever work you have planned to do, you should avoid revealing it to others. You should always keep your strategy a secret and be silently determined to complete it with your hard work.
5. Choose your company very thoughtfully
According to Chanakya Niti, a person’s company plays a big role in his success and failure. Acharya says that one should never make deep friendships or relationships with people who are much lower or much higher than oneself. One should always hang out with like-minded people and at the same level, so that there remains positivity in life and there is no unnecessary mental stress.
6. Understand loneliness and the theory of karma
This is a bitter truth which every youth should understand in time. A person comes to this world alone and leaves alone. He alone suffers the consequences of his good and bad deeds. Therefore, always be conscious of your actions and instead of blaming someone else for your success or failure, learn to be responsible yourself.
7. Spread the fragrance of thoughts and goodness all around
The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind, but the goodness of a good and characterful person and his good deeds spread in all directions. Acharya Chanakya advises the youth to always keep their conduct pure. Your good behavior and values become your real identity and bring you respect in the society.
8. Don’t share your biggest secrets with anyone
According to Chanakya, the biggest Guru Mantra of life is that one should never, even by mistake, share the most secret secrets of one’s life with any other person. As long as one of your secrets is safe with you, you are strong. The day that secret is revealed to others, it becomes your weakness and can hollow you from within.
9. Before taking any big step, ask yourself these three questions
Before starting any new work in life or taking any big decision, Chanakya has advised to ask yourself three very important questions. The first is ‘Why am I doing this?’, the second is ‘What could be its possible consequences?’ And thirdly ‘Will I be able to be completely successful in this work?’. Only when you have deeply thought about these three questions and are satisfied, then proceed further.
