Flattery (chamchagiri) a shortcut to success

We see various kinds of egoistic people in our schools, colleges and offices who are usually our seniors. These people have the power to give some advantage to their juniors. Many people believe that hard work is the way to impress their seniors. Some people, however, believe that flattery is the best way to impress their seniors.

Flattery means starting appreciating a person without any reason and make him happy. Employees use this method in various events, for example: - giving birthday party to boss at office and appreciating boss on his usual or unusual issues . This method is followed not only in offices but also in schools. Students start flattering their teachers in hope that they will increase his or her marks. By using flattery many people get profit from it without doing any hard work.  

Flattery is also done between best friends. That kind of flattery is not done in greed but it is done to maintain their relationship as friends. In school I have always seen that when relationship between two friends get spoiled by some reasons, one of the friends try to maintain their relationship by apologizing or giving excuse that he was just joking.

Flattery should be done in limits. Excess flattery of a person can lead to loss rather than profit and can even spoil a relationship. Flattering can be done whether to get profit or in maintaining a relationship but the main thing that we should remember that greed is a curse and the appetite for getting more advantage can lead to loss rather than profit.
