of good news peak days so little Buddha data by this seems to have died down de vita tab by I'm some of you must of seen %HESITATION though we do if this song online and I'll tell you the story of how I made it but before that I have a question for a few so how many of us so we heard have had celebrity crushes the
all almost all of my state and I'm sure some of us must have done something pretty easy to reach out to these crushes this friend of mine wannabes decided to pack his bags I believe this whole in what order and come to my own way to meet the love of his life a me shot by baby well okay so he decided to do that and because
he knew that he wanted to meet her in a different capacity not as a fan because right and the easiest way to get in touch with her was to get into showbiz and he did even so they are they as he denies that this was actually something that he liked doing I need stuck to it it's been ten years now since he started acting I know
me so what Dan now is he's see anything like so you know like this the life happens to you when you're busy planning other things this is a classic example of that things don't always work according to plan so let me tell you something it's okay to not have one I did not have a plan I had a passion which I decided to pursue and eventually
everything fell into place you know when I was five my family used to encourage me to sing and dance in front of guests %HESITATION at family gatherings can I use to be shy at first maybe even home court but I gave in to that equates I realize that %HESITATION I was enjoying being the entertainer but this is the same family that conditioned me to believe that's
someone to love to live a successful I deal in life is you grew up you graduate and you find a decent job this debate then when at last but ID family of mine as expected was not too bad it's heard about my acting aspirations I have to be %HESITATION back then maybe even I wasn't very convinced about it because I did have a ruler mother to
point out to you and say Hey if she can do it I can do that's I was comfortable with having a plan you grow up you graduate and you find a decent job remember so while pursuing a mass media in my graduate school I happen to what India after theatre company and got to be a part of a youth theatre festival which I helped organize I
was happy because I got to be around the Seattle would and my family was happy because I was doing even to management which was via and look when I started working on this festival F. estimated time out to be a turning point in my life because when I witnessed act does perform on stage I realize that that's what I want to be mmhm I realize I
wanted to be the storyteller I wanted to be the story and I knew that if I did not pursue it I was going to be extremely restless and unhappy so I gave in to my got and I decided to convince my family but it took some courage and a lot of cajoling for my family to finally give in hesitantly so it would be given I thought
it was not that bad a beginning I had a bumpy start because I knew I wanted to be an actor and that was that I wasn't sure if I wanted to do films are if I wanted to be part of %HESITATION television commercials are daily soaps are if I wanted to stick to Seattle so I decided that I figured it out as I go along and
I tried to do all the right things like I started looking for work I started auditioning made sure I was on the read out you know as lawmakers we I trained to face rejection every singer Eddie tags student shall because there are no matter where you want to go you would have to look toward the east needed action before some guiding the solar comes along Lee
didn't ID that excel as a pit baiting me for that index and I would be facing in my life ahead see the thing with auditions is that no matter how good or bad you would edit the godless all fuel performance you should know that if an audition as a drug awful that is not in your control what is in your control is to give your best
and let me tell you not a lot of those auditions actually translated into offers but it turned out to be some fantastic learning expediency me was not just for my skills it was because I also known to to build resilience so I'm sure this is something that we all have expedience failure makes it very easy to give up and if failures strikes multiple times it becomes
even easier but I realize that I shouldn't give up I kept at it and I'm glad they did within like within excel allows you never know who actually giving the appeal speaking you build your destination but just because six of them said nor do you in battle doesn't mean you give up on going home at night you will have to find an alternative you will have
to Austin nothing's going to come easy not having a plan actually turned out to be quite useful for me because when I was in the middle of trying to figure out what to do I danced up on the internet when I started with the internet which is about a yard and a half a rule the law didn't read I mean you still watching comedy sketches online
but the concept but the concept off web CD's or web shows was pretty novel not a lot of people had given in to it yet I thought it was a pretty interesting idea and I thought I'd make most of this opportunity or would it be enough time I had been to my network of friends and mentors who've been and still continue to be my biggest support
system so they backed me up on this decision and I decided to take the plunge when I started my web journey with my first web show which was a new thought I owe comedy show on a YouTube channel I still continue to work with I realize the power of the internet because the show got a boost from all over the world from different parts of the
world people started writing to us that Cup song that happened at a whim do I was just killing one fine afternoon at home and I was playing the tops in singing different songs on it and I decided to make a movie deal so I called my friend and said can you come over I need somebody to hold the camera she not have flown camera and I'm
sitting at my house and we recorded this and I uploaded this video the tinkling of the bicycle in the bag out if you should listen to it keenly internal on other noises you would be able to show but I put that we do up anyway and the attention that in god was unexpected this is something that I did without too much planning just for fun turned
out to be a game changer for me it opened so many more avenues for me gave me so many new opportunities but it makes me wonder what it would have been like had absent time to sync and plan how to make a perfect we do you know I'm not a fuss a full list to make very important decisions very early in life and we're not even
sure what do you want to do I wasn't and that is all keep the on Sundays in experimenting and doing so fearlessly everyone does not have a chopped out pots if you decide to be an actor Yardeni in my journeys I'm necessarily going to be the same you know prying until the nineties are some family members or if I'm of family friends I mean this yes
his day this scientist how good you are you chose to do this I mean my elder sister I do look up to her and she does inspire me but I didn't have to become a scientist to prove that in fact I don't think I have told her this either but that was a point in my life but I wanted to do everything that she did soul
she used to have long silky straight head she still does but when I was a little kid I used a really short hair sigh you so tired but that on my head with a headband just to pretend to have had a close I wanted to go to the same school as us in college even today I realize that it was all he could not do what
she was doing and she was still going to be proud of me at what Einstein once said if you would like to fish by its ability to climb the tree is going to spend all its life believing that it's stupid you might not be good at one thing but you would be better at three others I learned this the very hard we but you cannot make
