Chanakya Neeti - Chapter 10

Chanakya Neeti (The Book) - Chapter 10

A man without money is not poor in comparison to a man without knowledge.

A person must walk with his eyes open, must drink clean water, speak words with wisdom, and must perform an action only after thinking about pros & cons.

A crow can eat anything, a poet is capable of imagining anything, a woman can do anything, and a drunkard can say anything.

If you are looking for knowledge then give-up the hope for finding comfort. (Maybe, after getting Wisdom … lol )

Fate plays a significant role in life of a person. It can turn a king to beggar and vice-versa.

A greedy person consider beggars to be his enemy, a woman with loose character considers her husband as enemy and a thief considers moon to be his enemy. In same manner a fool treats the person who advice him.

Chanakya says … who don’t have knowledge, who don’t perform good deeds, don’t do charity, are not kind, lack in politeness, and are not merciful; are not humans, but beasts.

As per Chanakya Niti, it is a waste to advice some foolish person. Your words won’t change the person’s nature. Like the fragrant wind passing through forest of sandal wood does not make any impact on odor of a bamboo tree.

A foolish person cannot gain benefits from a books like a blind man with mirror.

Chanakya says that it better to live in forest with wild beasts, it is better to consume wild berries, it is better to sleep on bed of thorns than living in poverty with your kith and kins.

… One must protect the roots, If the root is destroyed then the tree will fall.

Different kinds of birds come together on a tree to spend night and then fly away in all directions when morning arrives. One most not regret about his or someone’s separation from family.

The power of brain is supreme and strength comes afterwards. You must be aware about the story of a lion who was killed by a rabbit.

The whole world is like a family and Lord Vishnu and Goddess Laxmi are like parents to all of us.

How to Make Money $$

Money is the only thing which matters in this world, all else religion, cast, creed, faith, nationality, exists for this purpose to be achieved, so that the commerce prospers.

How to make more money.

1. There are people who make Rs.5000/- in a month.
For corporate trainings, some companies pay me Rs.5000 an hour.
There are doctors who charge 5 lakh for a 1 hour operation.
An american singer named Adele charges more than 5 crore to sing for an hour.
Question: How do you explain this difference?
Answer: You don't get paid for time, you get paid for the Value you give in return.

2. The Govt. teaches us to demand what we deserve. Hamari Mangey poori Karo. Our Rights...
This is wrong. Nobody gets rich by demanding.
If you get Rs.10,000 a month, and you form a group, demand, sit on strike, you can't make Rs.50,000. You can demand only small increase, you cannot multiply. To multiply your income, start performing better than anybody else. You get rich by becoming the best in what you do, showing results and giving an outstanding performance.

Spend more effort in Improving your Value than the effort you spend in your Job to make money.

3. Make it a habit to always give much more than what is expected from you.
If you want to keep stepping up the corporate ladder, keep getting promotions, here is the most important tip - In whatever you do, whenever you do, put in more effort than is expected, show better results than is expected. Work harder and do it in a pleasing state of mind, do it smiling and love what you do. This will make you unstoppable.

4. Whenever you get a job offer, people usually ask - What will I get? This is bad.
Focus on what you are becoming, not what you are getting. The only way to earn may times is to increase your own value. If the current job is paying good, but your value is not increasing, it is a bad investment.

5. Bad times will Always come, and so will good times.
It is morning now, and soon it will be night. You cannot stop it, at least on this earth. It is summer now and winter will come. Undoubtedly. If you are happy now, bad times will come. If you are sad now, good times will also definitely come. This is life and you cannot change it, this has been so ever since man was born.
What you can and need to change is yourself. Here is what to do in good times - Keep thinking about bad times when you are in good times, save money for the bad times, work harder for the bad times, because for sure, they will come.
When in bad times, just keep thinking of the good times and prepare to make the most of it as soon as it comes.

6. Get yourself into action.
You have to make your powerful mind to obey your commands. Make everything important "A Must Do NOW", instead of a "I should do this soon".

Today is Sunday. Get up, Get some of the things you know you should do done now, and see how satisfied you will feel when you go back to sleep at night today.
