விளக்கம்
தெரிந்த நண்பர்களுடன் கலந்து பேசி, நன்கு யோசித்துச் செய்பவர்களுக்கு முடியாதது எதுவுமில்லை. "தெரிந்து செயல்வகை" அதிகாரத்தின்படி, சிந்தித்துச் செயல்பட்டால் வெற்றி நிச்சயம். நல்ல ஆலோசகர்கள் இருந்தால் கடினமான இலக்கையும் அடையலாம்.

Story behind this kural
In a bustling village nestled beside a vast forest, lived a young merchant named Arul. He dreamed of building the tallest warehouse in the land, a feat considered impossible by many. Arul, eager to start, almost immediately began gathering stones and wood, ignoring the advice of the village elder, a wise woman named Selvi. His first attempt crumbled, the foundation weak. Discouraged, Arul turned to Selvi. This time, he heeded her counsel, consulting with skilled builders and seasoned traders. They examined the land, calculated costs, and planned meticulously. Months passed, filled with careful preparation and thoughtful discussions. Finally, construction began. The warehouse rose slowly, strong and steady. When completed, it towered over the village, a testament not just to ambition, but to the power of thoughtful planning and wise counsel. Arul’s dream was realized, a symbol of what could be achieved with patience and collaboration.
