Aathichuvadi

Do you remember Aathichuvadi ? If not please read it here.

Self-help - currently the western world is looking into it. I have read lot of self-help books, ranging from Robin Sharma to Tony Robbins. Tamil literature has also donated the world with its irreplaceable Thirukural written 2nd BC. It is also donated Aathichuvadi, written by Aavaiyyar (a female poet).

ஈவது விலக்கேல் (Always be charitable) (Don't prevent charity)
உடையது விளம்பேல் (Don't advertise of your possessions)
ஊக்கமது கைவிடேல் (Don't give up perseverance)
எண் எழுத்து இகழேல் (Don't despise learning)
ஏற்பது இகழ்ச்சி (Acceptance (begging) is despicable)
