11 Inspiring Things SRK Said In His Edinburgh Speech That Will Touch Everyone
Shah Rukh Khan received an honorary doctorate from the UK's University of Edinburgh yesterday. King Khan was presented with the honor in recognition of his philanthropic work and for his global recognition as a stellar actor around the world.
On the occasion, SRK delivered a speech that received great applause from the audience. He gave some valuable life lessons that will help every person who wants to achieve their dream, like he did. Here's what we found most inspiring from his speech.
1. Hindi filmon ki tarah, life mein bhi, anth mein sab kuch theek ho jaata hai. Aur agar na ho, toh woh anth nahi hai...picture abhi baaki hai mere doston.

2. Study hard. Work hard. Play harder. Don't be bound by rules. Don't hurt anybody, and never ever live somebody else's dream.

3. There's no such thing as 'normal'. That's just another word for lifeless. Madness (of the particularly nice/romantic kind) is an absolute prerequisite to a happy and successful life. Don't ever treat your little insanities as if they are aberrations that ought to be hidden from the rest of the world. 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.

4. Being brave means being shit-scared all the way to the party but getting there and doing the 'Funky Chicken' in front of all your teenage kid's friends anyway. Don't let your fears become boxes that enclose you. Open them out, 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't even have done the 'Funky Chicken'.

5. It's okay to be confused. Confusion is the route to all the clarity in the world.

6. Art is more important than the artist - have no attachment to your own art. It's regressive, move on.

7. Don't become a philosopher before you become rich.

8. If you aren't charged up about doing something, if you don't have, what in Hindi we call the "Josh", the fire in your belly for it, then don't do it.

9. Chak De India taught me that whatever it is that is pulling you back, is not going away unless you stand up and start forging your own path with all your might in the opposite direction. Stop whining and start moving.

10. Laugh at yourself when you are despairing, shed a tear or two when one of my movie plots makes you hysterical with laughter.
