Choice of words in Mahabharata

Choice of words

Usage of words is a very key task whenever we talk to people. The art of convincing is a specific task but one of the incident in Mahabharata made me raise my eyebrows that Duryodhana was that great in using choice of words.
During the Kurukshetra war Karna asks Duryodhana that his Chariot must be piloted by a great pilot. Duryodhana had suggested Salliyan to do the role of driving.
Salliyan was a great emperor as well , due to Karna's birth , Salliyan refused to do the role.
Here is where Duryodhana choice of words comes into play.
"Dear Salliyan see I am  equating Karna to Arjuna , On the other hand the role of Piloting is done by Krishna , I am equalling you to Krishna". Hearing this Salliyan melted he immediately accepted the job.

Choice of words and usage of words are one of the key strengths to have a good rapport and getting your job done.

See if these are all some lessons that Mahabharata teaches us.

Please don't think that I am glorifying Duryodhana, just that nothing wrong in taking good things.

Hare Krishna
