Got startled when I came across this tamil quote… The words used in the quote is almost non-existent in today’s modern tamil… But the message conveyed thousand years back is mind blowing!! Not sure where we lost our heritage!!! Not many Tamils know or realise that our own literature can help us in planning our career and personal life!!
Tamils those days spoke about importance of wealth, education, poverty & insult… These facts of life can be applied any time until the mankind exist!!!
திரு விற்றலுடைய தில்லை –யொருவற்குக்
கற்றலின் வாய்த்த பிறவில்லை–எற்றுள்ளும்
இன்மையின்னாத தில்லையில் லேன்னாத
வன்மையின் வன்பாட்ட தில்.
Nothing is more powerful than wealth.
Nothing is higher than the education.
Nothing is more painful than poverty.
Nothing is stronger than avoiding rejection to a begger.
