Chanakya (Sanskrit: ?????? C??akya) (c.

350-283 BC) was an adviser and a prime minister to the first Maurya Emperor Chandragupta (c. 340-293 BC), and architect of his rise to power. Kautilya and Vishnugupta, the names by which the political treatise Artha?h?stra identifies its author, are traditionally identified with Chanakya. Some scholars consider Chanakya to be the pioneer economist of the world and the the Indian Machiavelli. Chankya was a professor at Taxila University and is widely believed to be responsible for the first Indian empire. Though I find some of his words goofy, I think when looked at them in political angle they seem right. But I m not politically oriented and cannot be!! I am what I am straight from my mind. Anyways, below are some of the Chanakyas Quotes: A person should not be too honest. Straight trees are cut first and Honest people are victimised first. Even if a snake is not poisonous, it should pretend to be venomous. The biggest guru-mantra is: Never share your secrets with anybody. ! It will destroy you. There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no Friendship without selfinterests. This is a bitter truth. Before you start some work, always ask yourself three questions Why am I doing it, What the results might be and Will I be successful. Only when you think deeply and find satisfactory answers to these questions, go ahead. As soon as the fear approaches near, attack and destroy it. Once you start working on something, dont be afraid of failure and dont abandon it. People who work sincerely are the happiest. The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind. But the goodness of a person spreads in all direction. A man is great by deeds, not by birth. Treat your kid like a darling for the first five years. For the next five years, scold them. By the time they turn sixteen, treat them like a friend. Your grown up children are your best friends. Books are as useful to a stupid person as a mirror is useful to a blind person. Education is the best friend. An educated person is respected everywhere. Education beats the beauty and the youth.
