Be confidence it will change your life-Priyanka Chopra
you know I don't think people would believe it but I
think it sells doors I don't think confidence is something that you were born
with I don't think confidences it's it's a skill set and I had no confidence
growing up as a child I was extreme I had very low self-esteem I was go Keys a
teenager and I lived in America I was made to feel conscious about the fact
that I was Indian that was weird at that time and not by everyone but just by
like a few bullies at school that hated me in high school is hard for everyone
but so I was in a in a very weird sort of teenage place and when Miss India
happened I'm inherently competitive I think the fact that I was competitive
pushed me to teach myself to be confident initially I faked it till I made it I
was just like I'm not gonna let anyone see but I'm scared I'm not gonna let
anyone see that I'm affected and over time I realized that as a woman as a girl
in this world if I allow myself to be hurt or if I allow myself to be affected
that's all I'm going to be and I'm not you know trying to say that it's a it's
an issue that just women have it's not easy to be a woman in show business and
especially a woman who's opinionated especially someone who I'm not I'm sort of
like and I wasn't like that from the beginning I sort of learned so confidence
is something I've taught myself I started becoming okay with who I am I became
the best version of me and then I sort of said I'm okay you know I'm alright
even if someone else thinks this I'm okay and everyone can do that people just
don't realize it I was always created in school but I didn't know what to do
with it I used to ride I did plays I would do school but my aspiration was
never to be creative and now that I found this vocation I'm producing I write
columns I my creativity comes out in whatever way it can I think somehow some
things guides you what that is I don't know I don't have a name for it I don't
think it's a religion I don't know if it's God I don't know what it is I think
something is bigger than us and I believe that well.
when I became
Miss India I sort of was on strange ground myself because I was literally I was
in college I was study and now I'm suddenly Miss World and I have these I was
traveling all over the world you know being an ambassador and and suddenly movie
offers started coming to me from India because I think producers thought that
it would be it would make business sense to you know have miss world in the
movie and I guess it is because in my first second films like I want a lot of
awards I didn't think I could act I just went in there with the idea of okay I
can learn a new skill set I may not know what acting is about but I can learn
so that's how I've taught myself I've never been to film school I've I taught
my spike arere has been perfect I've fallen down and dusted myself off I've
been okay to fail I don't like failure I'll never let the same failure happen
to me again because I learn from it I like knowledge I like learning from the
people around me and I don't think anyone reaches a point no matter how
successful you are in life you can't learn something and I think that sort of
got me to where I am and that's been a big part of my work and I remember when
no one wanted to ask me and I get that I remember when and I still am like
sometimes there's so many fights that I do but I remember when nobody wanted to
you know wanted my opinion I remember when I had to work on when I was just the
side chick to the guy and I had to work and do small but important significant
parts to prove that I can and.
I will and then triumph so no one can be that you can't
be like oh that's knees gonna knock on my door one day no it won't you have to
be able to recognize opportunities because there'll be a lot of them that come
into your life and once you recognize enough to seize the day and work bloody
hard because there'll be 25 other people I was told that that I wanted because
of confidence because I asked later there was so many more beautiful women than
me but of course like what what is it and they were like just you when you
speak you just eloquent and confident and you know and I was 18 and I realize
how important it was I mean I was Miss World at 18 just because I was confident
so if mainly understand that confidence truly is the key to getting ahead in
life if you believe in yourself the world will believe in you because
perception is reality.
