Kural 702 · Considering One's Capacity

வினைவலியும் தன்வலியும் மாற்றான் வலியும்
துணைவலியும் தூக்கிச் செயல்.

Vinaivaliyum taṉvaliyum māṯṟāṉ valiyum
tuṇaivaliyum tūkkic ceyal.

Meaning

Act only after weighing: the strength required by the task, your own strength, the adversary's strength, and the strength of your allies.

Ask yourself

Ambition without honest capability assessment leads to costly failures. Where in your current plans have you been generous with your own strengths and dismissive of the task's demands? What does an accurate audit look like?
