Bold people make history.

So if you want to be the lead actor of your movie, which is your life, you've got to take choices that might be contrary to what you've heard.
3
When I was younger, it was very romanticized that you're going for it and just keep going.
4
And, you know, it's like you have to work 24 hours, do four movies in one time, you know, five shifts, don't sleep, don't eat, and the more a person does that the more successful you will be.
5
But as I have seen and lived more life, I've realized having a work-life balance is really important.
6
But to have a sense of passion when you wake up in the morning for whatever, whether it's your job, whether it's your life, whether it's your hobby, to have a sense of passion gives you a sense of purpose.
7
Having a sense of purpose really leads to success I think.
8
You know I was learning the craft i've never been to school acting school or anything so you know my my observations were just you know what is everyone else doing around me how can i learn and i think that's something i still have i'm a student of life i don't expect that i know everything so when i ask for something it doesn't come from a place of i expect this done it comes from a place of here's why it needs to be done you know i come with reason um because i don't like being told no to.
9
So I make the situation such that it's hard to say no, where I'll be like, this is why it's necessary.
10
Here's why we should make the change.
11
I'm not someone who likes conflict.
12
I love collaboration.
13
I learned and I tell young girls, specifically girls, but mostly for young people, confidence is, it's self-taught.
14
It's not something you're born with.
15
It's not something that you'll always have.
16
There'll be days where you're completely underconfident and don't feel the best.
17
My job, I don't have the luxury or yours, to be able to go to set and be like, I'm having an underconfident day.
18
We still have to do this.
19
We still have to perform.
20
And I would like to tell my younger 19, 20 year old self that, you know, life is all hills and valleys.
21
It's never going to be a smooth road.
22
You will have up, you will have down, but when it's down, you will go up.
23
So when you're up, be prepared for a down and it's okay.
24
Surround yourself by people that prop you up.
25
Surround yourself by people who are genuinely happy for you.
26
Not all the followers, not like the people who you know you think are your friends that you may party with but the ones that pick up your phone call at two o'clock in the morning.
27
The one when someone is sick in your family that will sit with you for hours overnight.
28
You know those are the ones you collect.
29
Those are the ones you remember and those are the ones you you keep for the rest of your life, that's the biggest riches in the world.
30
Whenever life has been tough, and it's been tough many times, it's been almost down and out, and you don't want to get out of bed, and you don't want to see anyone.
31
I grew up in the public eye, so I kind of realized that my best person was me.
32
I had to rely on my skill set.
33
Whenever I was nervous or I was scared, I started focusing on whatever was the goal in that moment.
34
I never thought the canvas could be as big as this.
35
this.
36
This was not ever a aim or ever even a thought.
37
I came from a family of doctors, physicians, military.
38
Most of my family has been in the service.
39
My father and my mother both were in the military.
40
So it wasn't a realistic ambition at that time.
41
I come from a small town in India.
42
My parents, both highly progressive, always pushed me towards whatever dream I wanted to have.
43
I kept looking at the next rung of the ladder and then slowly I looked back and I was like 60 feet above.
44
It is up to us and our generation to be able to cut those ties and change it for the next generation so that they don't inherit the equity on light skin they don't inherit the gender equality that we probably thought was normal.
45
I thought it was completely normal and absolutely okay to sit for hours and hours on set while my male co-actor just took his own time.
46
Decided whenever he wanted to show up on set is when we would shoot.
47
It was normal, you know, when fairness commercials came by and it was a really big shiny brand.
48
It was normal for actors to male and women to say, oh wow, I have glowy white skin now.
49
There was nothing wrong around it.
50
When I was 21, 22, I did think that I was dark-skinned.
51
I did think that I was not pretty enough.
52
I did think that I I would have to work a lot harder, even though I thought I was probably a little bit more talented than my co-actors or who were lighter skinned.
53
I thought that was right.
54
I thought that because it was so normalized.
55
So when I was younger, I didn't have the mental equipment to be able to deal with how that made me feel.
56
I felt smaller, I felt invisible.
57
I felt like I didn't deserve to be treated the same way as everyone else because I thought that that's what my reality was.
58
When you fail, whether it's in class or whether it's, you know, in your whatever, like any dent hurts when you work really hard and you fail.
59
It hurts and especially in my job, right?
60
Like my job is so inconsistent.
61
Think about it.
62
I don't know where my next check is coming from till I sign my next door.
63
It's so unpredictable that it's not like a 9 to 5.
64
It's not like I get a salary every month.
65
Like think about the basic of that.
66
It's really a simple terrifying thought.
67
So to build a 22 year career with that kind of inconsistency takes a lot.
68
And I think it's easier for me when I'm more realistic about it.
69
And I'm like, you know what, that didn't work.
70
How can I make it better?
71
I have to know that to be able to be better.
72
I cannot be deluded.
73
I don't like being deluded and I don't like deluded people.
74
And it's just like, you can never please everyone.
75
And I realized that very early in my career as a public person.
76
When I was younger, in my 20s, I really needed everyone to love me because I was a public person.
77
I was a new entertainer.
78
I was like, why is this person hating me for this reason or why is this being written about me for this reason?
79
But I quickly realized when you're a public person, you are consumed by people.
80
You're literally dinner table conversation.
81
I realized that the only way to protect my sanity and myself was to surround myself by people that are genuinely happy for me that genuinely love and care about me and my support system whether that's my family my friends my team is very strong so then i don't need my validation from people i don't need my validation from the comments on social media i'm not working every day to be famous i'm working to make movies to make art for people to watch what i do and the byproduct of that happens to be fame.
82
So once I made that distinction and that bifurcation, I think it became a lot easier for me to live a normal life and and to just be a normal human being.
83
What I would have told that girl is just breathe and just chill a little.
84
I was very hard on myself because everything that I sort of everything that I've made so far you know with the encouragement and my family has kind of been self-made.
85
You know, I had to learn on the job.
86
Nobody, I didn't know anything.
87
I came from high school and an engineering background or I wanted to be an engineer.
88
And life just kind of had other plans.
89
And you know, you kind of, are you gonna swim?
90
Are you gonna sink?
91
And I will always swim.
92
So I've just kind of, it's, I think that what I would tell, I used to really take it very seriously.
93
I berated myself a lot and I was hard on myself.
94
And I would tell my younger self, chill out, time heals everything.
95
It'll all be fine.
96
And what she would probably tell me is to not get caught up in my schedule and in the multiple things that I juggle and not forget the excitement of doing what I'm doing.
97
Sometimes it's hard, you know, after you do it for such a long time, you have to remind yourself to be excited and be inspired and feel sort of alive instead of it being a job.
98
I think like you've got to sometimes, you have to push the envelope.
99
There's been too many generations that have been defined by what people think, you know, we can achieve or, you know, limitations that have been imposed because of people not being able to think or dream big enough.
100
And I think it's every generation's responsibility to show the endless possibilities to the next.
101
I think it's so crucial if you have a choice in your life to end up with someone who is not like enthused by your dreams, is at least interested in them, is at least excited about them or, you know, is at least encouraging.
102
like that's that's exciting um because you know everyone's busy and everyone has a thing in their lives but to take to make the effort to make you feel like your dreams are as important as the other one is such a gift in life we never have to choose one thing so that we need to take that pressure off of our backs that you don't have to be on one solitary journey you can choose to be on any journey at any time.
103
As long as you take the pressure, we put too much pressure on ourselves to function.
104
We create boxes and glass ceilings for ourselves because we're like, oh, this is the only way I can be and that's how you are successful.
105
There's no black or white in the world.
106
Everyone lives in greys.
107
For me, what has always worked is having the small next dream, the next step.
108
You always have to take a step up in the ladder to be able to get to the top.
109
You can't get to the top by flying up.
110
human beings don't fly.
111
And then slowly you'll turn around and say, Oh, whoa, look at this legacy I've created.
112
But if you have unachievable dreams, something that seems too out of the ordinary, then you're waiting for a miracle.
113
And miracles don't happen very often.
114
You have to create it for yourself.
115
So what's the next step in your big dream?
116
So if you want to buy a car, say, for example, you have to figure out how much it's for.
117
So you have to work backwards from your goal.
118
So if my goal is one thing, I'll work backwards.
119
And what is the first step in that goal?
120
I'll take that.
121
Then the next step in that goal, and slowly you'll buy your car.
122
My mom said that to me when I was very young.
123
She said, if you're going to tell the truth or if you're going to tell a lie, just know that whatever you do, you have to stand by it.
124
The good, the bad, the ugly.
125
It's all yours.
126
The sum of the opportunities I chose is the reason why I'm here today.
127
And I don't take that for granted at all.
128
And that's my purpose, is to make sure that every single day is spent with a pursuit of excellence in every single choice that I make.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
