You must know these Chanakya’s principals to live in modern world peacefully

1.A person should not be too honest. Straight trees are cut first and honest people are screwed first.
2.There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.
3.Once you start working on something, don’t be afraid of failure and don’t abandon it. People who work sincerely are the happiest.
4.Treat your kid like a darling only 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.
5.A man is great by deeds, not by birth. Your work will speak for you than anything else.
