If you can grasp and act upon this simple thought, you can only be a winner in anything you do, under any circumstances. You just have to imbibe this tip, which made one of my friend a more than 5000 crore man in terms of hard cash, resources and very importantly, BRAIN POWER. He sent me tip of the day;
“SUCCESS IS LIKE YOUR OWN SHADOW, IF YOU TRY TO CATCH IT, YOU WILL NEVER SUCCEED .IGNORE IT AND WALK IN YOUR OWN WAY, IT WILL FOLLOW YOU.”
This massage immediately brought out the face of a Boy on the sets of RAJKANWAR’S film DEEWANA, where a young Hero suddenly started behaving with the maturity of a STAR [not in wrong sense], he shouted on a TOI Journalist for trying to snatch a MARLBORO fro Hero’s packet. Financer/ Producer, who took me their, asked me ,whether he should sign this BOY, I told him ,let’s meet him, we sent a massage, Young Star told us to give him our office address ,as he will drop in tomorrow 3 PM, We sent him a business card to end the matter. Next day 3 PM, we never expected him to dungy Distribution Market at NAZ. I was amazed to see same arrogant star, standing in front of us, after some general talk, we asked him, how much he expects as signing amount, he replied, “Sir, I don’t take advances or signing amounts, as I am here to become biggest super star this Industry has ever seen, right now I need Scripts, Super Hits and great Directors.” This simple sentence in the office of Financer Shri Bharat Bhai Shah, gave SHAHRUKH KHAN many films and first bumper hit of his life by ABBAS-MASTAN, “BAZIGAR”. Years rolled by and BHARAT BHAI was framed in a very filmy case, whole industry accept MAHESH BHATT, went into hiding and celebration,[same people, who used to touch the feet of Bharat Bhai.] as at that time BHARAT BHAI was financing 80% of “A” grade Hindi Movies. Again we got a call from SHAHRUKH KHAN’S secretary, “Sir, SHAHRUKH Sir is asking, what can he do for BHARAT BHAI, he has already conveyed that he won’t charge a single penny for under production DEVDAS till everything is fine.” Same way Shri Mahesh Bhatt was only film personality, who gave statements in favor of Bharat Bhai. There is no doubt that today SHAHRUKH KHAN after CHAK DE, is biggest super star and most valuable asset, this industry has ever seen.
A successful person, a star is star under any circumstances, whether he is on the Top or Bottom of affairs. That is why there will be many Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna’s, Sunny Deol’s but there will be one and only Shahrukh Khan, as he deserves his super stardom more than 200%.
Same way, there are star Entrepreneurs in every field, I hope you imbibe this confidence and conviction in your life and business and god will bless you everything you need and much more.
