How many times have you taken a pause and wondered if you are truly following your heart. Many a times we do things because that is what is expected out of us or because it is a safer path. But very rarely do people take the road not taken and build a path of their own. If you are sitting there trying to gather courage and take a leap of faith, then you shouldn’t miss what Priyanka Chopra has to you all.
Priyanka Chopra today is a global icon and an inspiration to millions. She became a public figure when she was just 17 years old. Starting her journey as Miss India, Priyanka later went on to win the Miss World title. She ventured into Bollywood and left the country spellbound with what she is capable of creating and achieving. With ‘Quantico’, she has successfully cemented her position in Hollywood as well.
In a recent interview, PeeCee was asked:
Do you have any advice that you can give entrepreneurs, or people who are trying to break out of their comfort zones?
To this, Priyanka had something very valuable to say:
“Well, it is scary. I will always say it, because it’s a very scary place to be in. It changes; it has so many ups and downs. But, a very dear friend of mine, and a mentor, Jimmy Iovine, gave me this one piece of advice, which I tied a knot and kept. He said, to be successful, you have to be able to walk away from a deal. You have to. If you don’t want it bad enough, then people are going to give it to you at pittance.
But you have to be able to walk away, that’s when you become stronger, that’s when you have more confidence, and that’s the advice I would give.”
Well, I guess it’s something we all should tie a knot and keep as well!
