only a few things you know believes that you're talented alright how many or few amongst the people who raised your hand believe that you would like to do something off beat how many of you believe that you would like to com unleash for yourself beyond school beyond college beyond woke thank you it was the art do with how the nine eight I have just completed my
graduation and I would be acting to join may be screwed I was what I'm doing act onion of the Lebanese should high school as part of the times of India foundation but I was teaching English to the little kids there class seven than it one fine day I thought the principal and the other stuff in the school really bogged up I walked up to them and
also what was it that was bothering them so much the door on me that they wanted to do something better different for an upcoming independence day program and a dream that they had on my list to have their own school children talk in English right the dignity of a present that some government schooling child who's probably exposed to English very many lead to miss cobia it
seem like a daunting task no yeah was when I saw probably having been been with them for so many months maybe I could just go and try teaching them few sentences in English and what on the big on the independence the main event he out what the guards who were talking and shedding the complete speech in fluent English now this is a very small expedient but
what it taught me was a very important lesson and it bought me about opportunities so what I'm going to tell you next is hollow enough competent no blood in the water and they had this neck to look competition in a world where every second person sitting next to you wants a wants to be equally popular equally famous an equally successful how do you create opportunities for
yourself yeah I'm on one with the silver spoon AVI many of us are not beyond come from humble bundle and probably this that no blood for the fitting right up there do actually called a video for death so alright now India don't allow them in in eleven I was a double post graduate I was placed on the veto MIB school I don't dream drawer I had
a dream our location I don't have parents who are forcing me to get mad it I I don't have my things a lot of that out all of this was in my favor I'm probably that should have made me via neovia me happy the only odd thing so but I realized that I would not miss popular I was not the top button of the cloth and
not I was the prettiest seats in the college there was something that kept bothering me perhaps I was trying to find a missing block I'm doing all this time I'm going even mine what up to me and very excited he said that he was going to present a talk about just sketching out a major city based event in Hyderabad now he invited me to come and
be a part of the audience well there was one talked that stopped me but he deeply I did was all my life but I just want to go and attend programs venue and I get an opportunity to be on the other side would it be possible so the first important lesson that I learned in my life if don't ask now I pulled up the organizer of
this particular event and I asked them if they have any one and getting opportunities the Sentinel while you're sleeping on this time you should have come to love a neighbor just Dudayev are available in the event we have no opportunities right now you probably apply for the next one I was disappointed dejected you know my first at them at one time to do something landed me
feeling so the more motivated but that is just one day before the event I get applauded this see that MC has bugged out and they said would you like to be an MC now just imagine this in audio it's a city based event vet that going to be diverse mix of people you don't know what the hell then the end of the event because you met
him you do it I don't know if you'll be able to do a good job or not but then I asked for that opportunity and if I had said the no I realize that probably nothing else would work in my favor so I didn't see a yes I don't I performed I plumb out on the first big public event that I am a hosted I'm that
kind of became a paving the slowly but gradually so I met a lot of mistakes and I learned a lot of lessons that day but what really not if the bubble to ask and over the next few months I decided to apply the same principle of ask in my organization so whenever that came up a computing opportunity in the office I decided to one India flipped
whenever there was a touch of an event I decided to go and say I would like to do it sometimes I was selected sometimes I was not but what I am not in the process if to keep looking out for those opportunities now a lot of time you know we keep asking ourselves what a company can do for you how do you know if you're sitting
here in a booking alright so we are keep grabbing what a company can do for you what does this organization down for me how may offer you talk what you would do for the company anybody let quite a few of them have turned that they could do something for the company %HESITATION thought I have a good economy defeating so much so that I could lead to
books in one week I never realized that in an ideal of the my vision people could live for that was not a dime they could if without reading time a lot of leading into it yet so I walked up to my library in the information center and I asked them if I could review books they said we are not never done this before but if you
want you could try and I went on to I went on to give small book dogs in my organization which is not a consultant is of the truth and every book that I've read I am sure that it matched up with the vida interest often larger %HESITATION organization that I was a bottle of and every week I was giving the book dog in some cases there
were ten people who came in some cases it was a room full but that ended up my passion to actually keep moving forward and keep continuing to do what I liked so this entire incident taught me the second important lesson of my sin which is about creating opportunities Amadeus you'll need to keep trying trying and trying you try again of the first time it doesn't work
out the second time it might second time it doesn't work out the tide by midnight but it's very very important that you keep doing it now only a few yeah do take out time to your passion and hobbies right how many are still going to that backed off your hobby I see the number of hands coming down some people have said here and there alright so
I can be a very many passionate public speaking enthusiast since the last five years both must of international for those of you out of it if the meeting on innovation and public speaking and leadership now I no one point of time in my life when I was eating breathing sleeping drinking only interest must death so much so that every weekday MTV can I would just doing
this even on weekends when I decided to go and meet my friends I heard a barman statement from them but said she made the if you want to talk about those monsters please do not come to this practice know anything else but don't know the word ghost month death because I was so much madly in love with what I was doing I was shedding and losing
them a bit about the dose must a meeting that I attended I was shedding everything the picture that I took at an event and posted on social media I miss ya is red an opportunity walked up to me so in the yard with other men fifteen I was on the board of studies off to be on the top internet in colleges in that I'm gonna hydra
but bored of studies of English department and I have people who are twenty twenty five years of expedience and I was the youngest member who had just thirty to forty other expedients on that board and this I believe was an opportunity that I decided to walk up to it I'd invent floated to calm and land in my lap how many of you look that gets on
but my show well everybody I also got my tickets on but my show how would it be exciting to see your name on the commercial right this is the fourth important lesson that I learned but just about being attentive being observant so my dear friends on the first band and listen and this amount of time on social media shedding big shot shedding a bit shedding ever
never thing happening in our life but what I believe is important and good luck in your favorite is to be observant many will seek a particular a bit being shed ask a question what's in it for me if you see a good event happening in the city ask yourself if you would be able to go and conducted the next time it doesn't want to be an
audience but it does good it will be on the other side and be an event on the my the all conducted so why me a bad when I moved to ban look from Hyderabad I saw all of oh god you run on the night vision conducting the Ozzfest no I'm not a great artist but I am a self taught artist from you do and I approached
them and asked if I could comment on that devote shop they asked me to send a couple of times booth so what you see here if god among by law but just basically used to relieve stress and into the youth to log in meditation and mindfulness these are small arts that I started creating and the organizers said when if you would like to comment on not
the book shop V. I'm more than happy to do what we are looking for new people to come and experiment so yeah I was in Bangalore meant I've bent and conducted my first art book shop being the self taught artist I had about ten to fifteen people who attended and it gives you the confidence to do more it gave me the inspiration for the myself to
keep exploding more that's going to blow up shop storytelling several other similar book shops that continue now this innovative and one I just came up yesterday which is again about walking up to an opportunity so are my husband and I am going to put on our newest addition to who don I uploaded a lot of pictures and updates on social media when I came back I
realized that I wanted to shed my expediency done then I wanted to shed it in greater detail and that's where I want to look at a photo that I realized that my own company how the magazine let contribute I watch that I asked if I could write an article you then set it immediately but the door who paid for it so I waited for nearly three
months and then they asked me depend route to good and yesterday in this game up in the internet magazine of PCS which is that by more than three points I like employees well if you really want to create opportunities for yourself that out for simple month enough that I followed in my life so far if this duoc it is to try and keep trying it this
to go to the dept off your passion and finally bit attention to every single thing happening around you you're gonna have to wait for things to come in land in your lap if you out of the event you can actually I know but you light till today something might be vague thing you did one covered it now you might ask me why do all of this
you know what do you get from it by you get and how you might you get excited what that's about actually gives you and I would like to talk about death so %HESITATION onstage on my parents what the dating me in front of our audience which was it hundred in number and I had no clue that my parents were poised to an event which I hadn't
our lead in a hundred while India earth I had lead foot to lead the but the moment came for me to receive an award suddenly there was an announcement that might better would be joined on stage so they were on patrol and they came up and join me ditch I might be a friend that doesn't know a big gulp moment that to see if that's spine
and medium impotence I with bad people know that you made them proud and whatever you do whatever lessons I don't I think I'd be dead but this day and this day if something which really mocked my five year old Johnny so far if I fight yeah I would say opportunities I have even what is important if you bend and twist them to suit your needs because
