Well, I would like to be CHANAKYA. He was the minister of king Chandragupta.
I like his character because he was knowledgeable and learned person. However, when he was insulted by some other king, he took a vow that he would ruine that king. It was not a simple task for a teacher (He was a teacher at that time). But he accomplished it so well that the new king made him his mentor.
Later in his new role as a mentor and a minister of the new king, he lead the kingdom to the new hights of the prosperity. He gave some principles of economics which are considered to be fundamentals of the economics even in the present time.
Thus Chanakya had versetile character: a learner, a teacher, a fighter, a good politician and a good economist. So I like his character.
