You know there is 2 kinds of arrogance
The sonam kapoor kind where I’ve lived in my ivory tower for so long that I’m oblivious to the way the rest of the world functions and am tone deaf to the easy access of resources and opportunities that I have …and attribute my success to my “talent” and “hard work” and how amazing I am….
Then there is the rohit shetty kind…where I have seen struggle, and I did work hard to get to where I am, but now I’m at the point where I think I can take it easy, and take people for granted and put in half assed efforts and it will be ok because I’m “set for life” and I have paid my dues …and I’ve done all the work and nothing can shake me now
Both kinds of arrogance end careers …
U are never “set for life” …there are constant ups and downs in everyone’s life and the only way to lead it is to put in honest and good work every single day…keep improving urself every single day …in short don’t take it easy when things seem to be going ur way…put in the effort no matter what
That is precisely why someone like amitabh who might be a senile snob is still sustaining….he’s 80 and can take it easy…but dosent ….people keep mentioning his discipline, showing up to set on time, doing rehearsals, learning his lines, he asks for work and never thinks he’s infalliable….(perhaps all this can be attributed to the lessons be learnt when he saw failures and rejection in the 90s) that’s what gives u lasting success….lasting hard work and a head above shoulders that is thankful and knows that the fame and fortune isn’t forever
