2. 0:04confidence is your best accessory
3. 0:06there is nothing else you need if you
4. 0:08the only thing you need to wear well is
5. 0:10your confidence
6. 0:12confidence truly is the key to
7. 0:15getting ahead in life if you believe in
8. 0:16yourself the world will believe in you
9. 0:18because perception is reality
10. 0:22i don't think confidence is something
11. 0:24that
12. 0:25you are born with i don't think
13. 0:27confidence is it's a skill set
14. 0:30and i had no confidence growing up as a
15. 0:33child
16. 0:34i had very low self-esteem
17. 0:37i was a kid full of fear insecurities
18. 0:41somebody who had very low self-esteem
19. 0:43didn't believe in myself at all
20. 0:45the only thing that i knew that i had
21. 0:49was the ability to work bloody damn hard
22. 0:52and that's the only thing that i did
23. 0:54confidence is something i taught myself
24. 0:56over the years i started becoming okay
25. 0:58with who i am i became the best version
26. 1:01of me
27. 1:02and then i sort of said i'm okay you
28. 1:05know i'm all right
29. 1:07your flaws are fine
30. 1:09no one is perfect none of us we all have
31. 1:13bad days we're all gonna feel like
32. 1:15sometimes you're all gonna have bad days
33. 1:18and that's fine
34. 1:20we have this crazy standard especially
35. 1:22with the internet where everything has
36. 1:24to be perfect all the time and we have
37. 1:26to look perfect or to behave perfect we
38. 1:28have to say the right things everyone
39. 1:30screws up and that's all right
40. 1:33laugh through it don't take yourself too
41. 1:34seriously and make sure that you don't
42. 1:36live for someone else's validation
43. 1:38it's your validation
44. 1:41that you need
45. 1:42be yourselves guys it's great to be you
46. 1:47whatever you might want to be
47. 1:49that is the best version of you so you
48. 1:52drop stuff around or you are clumsy and
49. 1:54you're a klutz but
50. 1:56it's you
51. 1:57and that's what makes you special
52. 2:00we are going through our problems as a
53. 2:02world right now because that's what we
54. 2:04do because we put people in boxes
55. 2:06because we stereotype because we say
56. 2:08everyone who's like this will be like
57. 2:10that but not in my experience
58. 2:14nothing is a straight line
59. 2:16and we need to stop looking at the world
60. 2:18like that
61. 2:20diversity shouldn't even be a
62. 2:21conversation it should be normal
63. 2:24when we look around this room there's
64. 2:26not one kind of person i don't even see
65. 2:29one kind of person in one row
66. 2:31and that's our normal
67. 2:33we've forgotten that eventually we're
68. 2:36all human
69. 2:37it's this one little planet that we have
70. 2:39which in this big universe is really
71. 2:42tiny
72. 2:43so we should stop giving ourselves so
73. 2:45much importance and saying oh well
74. 2:46you're better than me or i'm better than
75. 2:48you we all are basically humanity and
76. 2:51let's like go back to that and bring
77. 2:54compassion and kindness into beauty and
78. 2:57not be so hard on ourselves or other
79. 2:59people
80. 3:01in life you know there are moments when
81. 3:02you stop and ask yourself
82. 3:04how did i get here like why am i
83. 3:07standing here
84. 3:09and i find myself going back to the
85. 3:11beginning
86. 3:13back to my roots
87. 3:14i was born to incredible parents
88. 3:17amazing parents
89. 3:19both my my parents were very progressive
90. 3:22in their mindsets especially coming from
91. 3:24a country at that time which india was
92. 3:27which was a little bit like this you
93. 3:28know a woman's life sort of
94. 3:30ends when she gets married because after
95. 3:32that yeah you can think about
96. 3:34progressive families will tell you yeah
97. 3:35you can achieve whatever but your
98. 3:37milestone is to get married my mother
99. 3:39still says she's like you know you get
100. 3:41married the day you find someone who
101. 3:42will appreciate how hard you have worked
102. 3:44to get where you are who will appreciate
103. 3:46the sacrifices you made and that's the
104. 3:48man you will get married to and if you
105. 3:50don't doesn't matter
106. 3:52we're in the world of science can still
107. 3:53have babies
108. 3:55and i was like what kind of mom says
109. 3:57that
110. 3:58but the idea was the philosophy behind
111. 4:00it that it didn't define me
112. 4:03and it's so important for us to be able
113. 4:05to empower each other
114. 4:07in everyday life we don't have to
115. 4:10conquer the world you don't have to be
116. 4:12the only person who reaches space like
117. 4:14you don't have to have crazy wild
118. 4:16ambitions you just have to find your
119. 4:18power and to say that oh i can do this
120. 4:21too
121. 4:22i don't have to
122. 4:24create like this crazy opportunity for
123. 4:26me to thrive you can thrive in anything
124. 4:28you choose just have to find that
125. 4:30confidence within yourself
126. 4:33life can never be safe

131. 4:43important in evolution

135. 4:50trailblazer

152. 5:32i just love growing like i said i think
153. 5:34growing is a very important thing and
154. 5:35when i was very young i started working
155. 5:37when i was 17 years old
156. 5:39[Music]
157. 5:40you need to be responsible for your
158. 5:42finances and be financially independent
159. 5:45and that kind of really stuck with me
160. 5:47i just
161. 5:48love what i do and i'm good at it and i
162. 5:52love the ability to wake up in the
163. 5:54morning and say oh my god i get to go to
164. 5:56work i mean how many people
165. 5:58in their lifetimes do a job
166. 6:01that they love doing most people do it
167. 6:03for survival
168. 6:04kitchen we need to feed our families we
169. 6:06need to survive but to wake up with you
170. 6:08know my my feet and my fingers tingling
171. 6:12and say wow i have this to do i have
172. 6:13that to do today
173. 6:15and
174. 6:16it's an amazing feeling and i don't take
175. 6:17it for granted
176. 6:20i'm a high achiever i've always been a
177. 6:22high achiever i'm someone who
178. 6:24is goal oriented i i like challenges i
179. 6:27like growth i like evolution i like
180. 6:29knowledge so when you put all of those
181. 6:31things combined i have a lot more i want
182. 6:34to do
183. 6:35i've had multiple things that haven't
184. 6:37worked out in my life i mean i i just
185. 6:40don't talk about them i'm not someone
186. 6:41who
187. 6:42rests on my failures i believe that they
188. 6:45are natural part of life and failure
189. 6:47will happen to every single person and
190. 6:49what you do after failure that makes you
191. 6:52the person that you will become
192. 6:55you know i've always said that i'm
193. 6:56ambitious and i i have that's my sense
194. 6:59of purpose is my drive is my
195. 7:01contribution to the arts
196. 7:03that's where i feel like i'll have most
197. 7:05purpose and you know that's just my
198. 7:07quest is always that to push the
199. 7:08envelope
200. 7:10i don't really have regrets but i have
201. 7:12to say i think
202. 7:14my biggest achievement i feel is
203. 7:16honestly
204. 7:18the ability to get over my fears
205. 7:21i'm hugely emotional and i get affected
206. 7:23by a lot of things and i know i come
207. 7:24across as this tough sassy witty thing
208. 7:28and but i do think that is a big part of
209. 7:30keeping myself protected
210. 7:32um and surviving i've always had to do
211. 7:35it for myself there's not been anyone
212. 7:37who's held a safety net for me in all
213. 7:39the decisions that i've taken so i think
214. 7:41my biggest achievement is
215. 7:43to trust my feet to trust my legs to
216. 7:46trust my instinct and say even if i fall
217. 7:49it's okay it'll be my mistake
218. 7:51there's only one you
219. 7:53okay because there's no one like you
220. 7:56and i don't mean the superfluous
221. 7:58superficial parts
222. 8:00i'm talking about the core of you who
223. 8:02you are inside your values your beliefs
224. 8:04your flaws and once you understand
225. 8:07who really that person is
226. 8:10you would have made taken the first step
227. 8:12in finding your unique self and that is
228. 8:14the best version of you who am i really
229. 8:18most often we don't allow ourselves the
230. 8:20ability to dream beyond
231. 8:22our imagination we don't allow ourselves
232. 8:24to think about the future because we are
233. 8:26afraid of change we are afraid to move
234. 8:28away from what is familiar
235. 8:30either that or sometimes you know we are
236. 8:32too rigid to let our dreams evolve
237. 8:36loosen up
238. 8:37you know shake it off a little bit
239. 8:40change is the only constant thing in
240. 8:41life and you are never too old or never
241. 8:44too experienced to learn something new
242. 8:47believe that you have everything already
243. 8:50as your brahmastra in your will
244. 8:52to be able to be and achieve your dreams
245. 8:55be fearless
246. 8:57funny thing aren't these opportunities
247. 8:58they don't come very often
248. 9:00they come far and few in between
249. 9:03but when they do do we recognize them
250. 9:07our job is to recognize them and make
251. 9:09the most of them i look back on all the
252. 9:11things that i've done and i marvel at
253. 9:13the opportunities that came my way
254. 9:17more like the universe sort of guiding
255. 9:19me towards these opportunities all i had
256. 9:21to do was recognize them and make sure i
257. 9:24worked so hard that i squeezed every
258. 9:27drop out of these opportunities
259. 9:30this ladies and gentlemen is called
260. 9:32drive it's called ambition
261. 9:35be greedy
262. 9:36be greedy for your ambitions be hungry
263. 9:38for it don't live on someone else's
264. 9:41benchmarks
265. 9:43i've always believed that you have to
266. 9:44take risks calculated educated risks
267. 9:48to evolve because if you've not truly
268. 9:51explored the full extent of your
269. 9:53possibilities you'll always remain
270. 9:55stagnant
271. 9:57excellence is the pursuit of my life in
272. 9:59anything that i do my ambition gives me
273. 10:02purpose and i think purpose is very
274. 10:04important in life you have to have a
275. 10:05sense of purpose you whatever that might
276. 10:07be it could be your children it could be
277. 10:09your family it could be your career it
278. 10:12could be anything
279. 10:14i think my purpose is the pursuit of
280. 10:16excellence in anything that i do i don't
281. 10:18like doing anything less than perfect i
282. 10:21want them to say that i left behind a
283. 10:23legacy
284. 10:24i want my kids to feel like you know
285. 10:26proud to say that that's our mom i want
286. 10:29people to say that i made a dent in my
287. 10:31art in entertainment in my profession
288. 10:35i think people confuse discipline with
289. 10:37like punctuality sometimes but that's
290. 10:39not what discipline is discipline is
291. 10:41being prepared discipline is riaz
292. 10:43discipline is training discipline is
293. 10:46learning discipline is knowing that if
294. 10:48i'm going to do a job i'm going to give
295. 10:50it my 120 otherwise i'm not going to do
296. 10:52it
297. 10:53one mistake can cause a big big
298. 10:55butterfly effect
299. 10:58learn to be like what
300. 10:59adaptable fit into any vessel have a
301. 11:02sense of calm have a sense of patience
302. 11:04but ambition is extremely important and
303. 11:06i don't just say this to girls i say
304. 11:08this to boys and girls just everyone who
