Harithik Roshan
(10 January 1974, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India)
Hrithik Roshan is one of the biggest Bollywood superstars but the struggles he faced on his path to success are an inspiration to all of us his motivational success story is amazing after everything he had to go through his perspective towards life actually changed my life so I recommend you to listen till the end he was bullied and humiliated at school by other kids because he was struggling to speak fluently he has a speech disorder known as stammering but since he was a child he wanted so much to become an actor so this was an enormous barrier that he needed to break unfortunately it is one of those handicaps that is made fun of especially kids he can't blame them but They end up being mean because it looks funny so the childhood of a person suffering from a problem like this is pure hell from the time you wake up in the morning tonight he almost dreads some days to wake up because you have to go through an entire day when you have to use your speech and have to go through all those little moments of Hell for oral tests at school I used to bunk school I used to fall sick I used to break my hand I used to get a sprain it was a heartbreaking experience for him in one occasion he had to practice for 36 hours straight just so he could tell his cook what he wanted to eat but Hrithik decided that his stammering won't stop him to become an actor determined he dedicated himself into overcoming his speech disorder and joined speech therapy classes he used to practice for days in front of a mirror he used to repeat all the words in different manners also he reads books aloud every time focusing on the pronunciation and he's still practicing to this day he is a strong role model for everyone who struggles with the same problems he showed us that if you just focus and don't give up you can overcome every obstacle in your life I got over it so me will you I think it's important for me to convey this message far and wide and I want to do it more often when he was 21 he was diagnosed with scoliosis curved spinal cord and was suggested by doctors to forget about acting if he wanted to not spend his life in a wheelchair because acting requires a lot of stunts and dancing which can put a lot of strain on the spine but Heretic didn't want to give up on his dream so not acting and not dancing was not an option he does physiotherapy exercises for his spinal cord issue till this day in 2010 he was diagnosed with a bad knee his knee was in an extremely bad
shape and it was so brittle the doctors told him that his condition was even worse than old people during a shooting of a movie he was bedridden and doctors informed him that his knee would hardly last a year he woke up every morning in deep pain I've started to trust life immensely a situation might seem like one thing and it might lead to another thing all my greatest victories have come in this manner today I may be termed as a great dancer but that started off by a doctor saying that I'd never be able to dance in my life it broke my heart he said I suffered from rheumatism on the knees and scoliosis in my back his misfortunes didn't end there in 2013 a blood clot was found in his brain he underwent a surgery that was very risky and the chances of that were higher pain is one thing suffering is another suffering happens in the mind once you detach from that you can handle the pain you make it your friend it helps make you tougher and stronger by using the power of imagination in seeing the good in disguise in every bad thing in his life has helped him bounce back and become even stronger these are the cards I was dealt and if I complained I was not going to get anywhere I just had to find the best way to play them I analyzed weaknesses and realized that through practice hard work and more importantly through research and educating myself a lot could be accomplished and because of that they've gained a lot of knowledge and health and fitness anything you create in life comes from your experiences they have made me the man I am today critic has an amazing career it's one of the highest paid actors in India has won many awards and the very bright future is ahead of him he was also voted the sexiest man in Asia he was born with six fingers in one hand and said that his extra thumb used to repel people at school but for him it was beautifully imperfect I am lucky not because I got voted sexiest because I just noticed God gave me a piece of ugly to carry with me to remind myself and others of how beautiful our imperfections make us after everything that happened to him his positive outlook on life is magical and the wisdom that comes from his success story is motivational I've been through a beautiful spectrum of emotions I've seen almost all the colours of life it's a gift few of us get to live through situations which are so varied I'm an actor the more life I live the more emotions I'll experience and the richer human being I become the better actor I'll be I've had many instances of revelations which always come at the precipice of fear when you feel like now this is it it's all going to end there's no hope that's when your desperation for an answer reaches its peak that's when you find the enlightenment it feels great and you feel proud to have made it so far you find some beautiful simple answers and you realize there is nothing to worry about you find resilience strength and understanding in awareness you realize it's all just a game I just have to play it well why it's not serious after all today I realized that all I have to do in my life is to wake up in the morning with enthusiasm and leave this
day how do you do that some will point out that when you're going through something sad and depressing you don't want to get up I'd say treat it as a game get curious like a kid get curious about life make curiosity a driving factor these are the signboards that have helped me through some of the most trying times that I'm playing a difficult game at level 20 so game on come on with controls in your hand make it fun and everything becomes simple everything becomes chilled if you don't have a sense of humor you've lost the game already I have been through my ups and downs I have experienced depression and confusion it's a normal thing and we should be very casual when we speak about it I have experienced issues in my life we all go through ups and downs in our lives the ups and downs are important because we evolved through both of them when you go through a down it is important to have a clarity of thought sometimes your brain takes over and it kind of feeds you with unwanted thoughts feeds you with thoughts which are not aligned with what you want to do in life when your brain goes into dysfunction and you can't think straight and you wonder why you're not feeling good call up the doctor call up your friends your mom dad sister brother and tell them I'm not feeling good something's wrong reach out I'm an infallible believer in life whatever happens in your life if you get curious enough to see what lies beyond that mountain then it becomes a catalyst to your growth whenever I felt down-and-out I got curious like a child or else I wouldn't have become the person I am I wouldn't have become the solid individual that I am right now so full of gratitude to have journeyed this beautiful life for the kind of relationships that I have enjoyed the sense of composure and now feel the adventures that I have with my kids the equations that I share with my friends all that is the result of what I once thought was an adversary every adversity comes with a blessing you just have to find it do not be afraid of your weaknesses of your struggles of your miseries your miseries are eventually going to become the wind beneath your wings they're going to make you fly one day you know the best love story you can ever have is the one with life itself you know life it's dark it's dusty it's bright it's beautiful romance it make it the best love story of your life what I am today is not in spite of my struggles but because of them if you have the right perspective towards your struggles they can actually become your wings so what's your story you..
