THE REAL TEST


One day a known person approached Chanakya and
enthusiastically started saying, ―Do you know, just a
while ago, I heard few things from your friend about
you?‖
Chanakya was famous for his wisdom, knowledge
and good behaviour. He said to his known person,
―Before I listen to what you have to say, I would like
to test it through my three step testing.‖
―What is this three step test?‖ the person asked.
Chanakya made him understand, ―Before you tell me
about what my friend has said, let us test it. I call
this testing – a three step test. The first test is of
truth-ness. Is it sure that whatever you are going to
say is a truth?‖
No‖, the person says, ―I have heard it from
somewhere.‖
Okay‖, Chanakya analyzed. ―If you don‘t know
whether this is truth or not, we will do another test.
The second test is for goodness. Are you going to tell
me some good thing about my friend?‖
No, it‘s opposite to it…..‖
Then‖, Chanakya asked further. ―Whatever you are
going to say, is not the truth, is not positive about my
friend then let us do the third test. The third test is of
usefulness. Whatever you are going to tell me, is that
useful to me?‖
No, it‘s not like that.‖
Chanakya then said the last thing.
Whatever you are supposed to tell me, it is not true,
it is not positive and it is not useful also, then why
you want to tell me?‖


MORAL
Any information must be checked on these three
parameters of – truthness, goodness and usefulness.
Never be sad for what is lost. Be glad that it was
once yours.
He was a good man. He never smoked, drank &
had no affair. When he died, the insurance
company refused the claim.
They said, he who never lived, cannot die!
Two best secrets to keep relationships
strong whenever you are wrong always accept it,
whenever you are right. Just keep quiet.
What will you do if one day the whole world is on
one side and you on opposite. Simple, just turn
back and you will be the leader of the whole
world.
