Bollywood and Shahrukh Khan have long been synonymous. From stage plays in his early career to 80 iconic Indian films and global stardom for over more than a decade – the Indian actor, producer and television personality has made waves in every sphere of entertainment. But, every now and then, one will often find him reminiscing his modest roots.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re launching your start \u2013up, then you\u2019re also most likely to find yourself in times of struggle and despair. But guess what? Even the King of Bollywood has been there and done that. Here are some of the most inspiring life lessons coming straight from the Superstar, that will help you \u201chang in there!\u201d<\/p>\n

Lesson 1: Sail away from your comfort zone<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBeing brave means being shit scared all the way. But, don\u2019t let your fears become boxes that enclose you. Open them up, feel them and turn them into the greatest courage you are capable of. I promise you, nothing will go wrong. But if you live by your fears, everything that can possibly go wrong will go wrong and you won\u2019t even have done the Funky Chicken.”<\/p>\n

Lesson 2: Embrace the madness in you<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no such thing as \u201cnormal\u201d. That\u2019s just another word for lifeless. Madness is an absolute prerequisite to a happy and successful life. Don\u2019t ever treat your little insanities as if they are aberrations that ought to be hidden. Acknowledge them and use them to define your own way of living the only life you have. All the most beautiful people in the world, the most creative, the ones who led revolutions, who discovered and invented things, did so because they embraced their own idiosyncrasies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lesson 3: Don\u2019t panic ever \u2013 just be positive<\/strong><\/p>\n

“When life hits you with all the force of its resplendent rage, the Rolls isn\u2019t going to give you comfort. A friend\u2019s grace will, and if you can\u2019t find resolution as easily as you would like to, don\u2019t panic. Everything evolves as you go along. Even disasters eventually resolve themselves. Give life the space to move at its own pace, pushing it ahead only by way of being kind to yourself when you are hurting or in despair.\u201d<\/p>\n

Life lesson 4: Ignore the naysayers <\/strong><\/p>\n

“All the names you give yourself, or those that others call you, are just labels. You are not defined by them, no matter how flattering or uncomplimentary they are. What defines you is your heart.\u00a0And I say this out of experience because if I was to go by what all I am called on Social Media I would be an old desperate manipulative that has been star who swings both ways while making crap movies, and these are just the good mentions.”<\/p>\n

Lesson 5: Stop whining and start moving <\/strong><\/p>\n

“Whatever it is that is pulling you back, it\u2019s not going away unless you stand up and start forging your own path with all your might in the opposite direction. Don\u2019t attach yourself to either sadness or happiness, they\u2019re both going to change with the same certitude. Take them with the ephemeral spirit of their impermanence and manage them with a healthy dose of good humour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what you need first \u2013 a office space<\/a>,\u00a0co-working space in Qutab<\/a>, New Delhi or business centre in Koramangala<\/a>, Bengaluru , where you\u00a0can kickstart your startup.<\/p>\n
