One of the most
appreciated lines of Chanakya Neeti is “Even is a snake is not poisonous, it
should pretend to be …”
A few
valid explanations for those lines are :
·
Do not let your competitor know about your weaknesses.
·
Show your strength when needed
·
Keep your enemies in disguise
Anyhow, those lines
have nothing to do with flattery and show-off. Many misinterpreted
it an faced significant losses.
A man must know the
entities that must be reveled and what things to be kept as secret. The art of
winning is a bout being one step smarter than your opponent.
Suppose you own a
business and definitely there will be few competitors. Now, even if your
business is not going well; you must pretend everything to be fine.
Why? If they came to
know about your bad condition then one or more competitors will
double their efforts for throwing you out of business.
In-case, the opponent
is not sure about your state then he will execute the plans slowly
under fear for his move to backfire.
Note: The
quote has nothing to do with showing-off. The whole concept is about acting
smart. Its good to show power but not
your possession.
Chanakya
has suggested disguise is a very useful tool. Provided you know
the trick for valid implementation.
