These are basic(基本的) things. You have to know that. You have to know how to dress correctly. You have to know if you have body order. You have to know whether( 是否) you're spitting on people's face and how to stop it when you're speaking. If you don't do these things, ladies and gentlemen(绅士), you will be in an average life, doing an average job and living an average life.
See, you guys are at the threshold(入口) of the dreams that you want to achieve. Please sit down. It's going to be slightly(轻微地) longer. And you know, you guys are going to actually determine(决定) how the environment around you is going to progress(前进) along with you. You must know that at no point in your life is something impossible. At no point.
You could be in a place, you could be born and brought up in a place like Bihar, like(喜欢) I have done, and be a big enough star to come and talk to people in Coimbatore as a star. Or you could be in the industry like the Tamil and Telugu industry and be known as the most exciting director. Rajmali suddenly decides that he can make a film which is, if not better, but at par with Hollywood(好莱坞). And he does that, staying in India. And he hits the ball right out of the park. He becomes historic(有历史意义的) in just that one moment.
There is a huge lesson to be learned(学习) on things like that. Everybody keeps saying success is when the right opportunity meets the right preparation(准备). Right? So you can't have the right preparation by being the engineer that you want to be and you keep looking out for that right opportunity. But what makes the right opportunity and the right preparation come together? When does that synergy happen for you to be prepared for it?
Because like they say, if you're prepared but you don't get the opportunity, it's useless( 无用的). If you have the opportunity, you're not prepared. It's not useless. But they have to meet at a point, right? And that meeting happens because you will it to happen. Because you want it so badly to happen.
I could be walking down any street. I could be anybody. But why did that one director come and meet me and wanted me to act on that television serial(电视连续剧)? If you look at every next step in my career, I have never prepared for it. I have never imagined that this could happen. I never imagined that Mani Ratnam will call me.
How would Mani Ratnam know about a guy who's doing a television series in Bombay without even seeing one episode(插曲) of mine(矿)? So let's come back to that one point that happens, the synergy that happens between the right opportunity and the right preparation. And that happens when you have what is called situational awareness(意识). So let me tell( 告诉) you a little bit about situational awareness(意识). Situational awareness is when, as in the army, they say you're completely aware(知道的) of what is happening around you at all times. So, as I was saying, the situational awareness happens when you're completely aware of everything that is going around you at all times.
And you should be able to do that. When we are in the army and if you're walking down the ground, parade(游行) ground, anybody who's involved with the defense( 防御) will know what I'm saying is the truth(真理). And if there's an officer walking away from the other side of the ground, you have to stop and salute him and say, "Ram(公羊) Ram(公羊)" or whatever(任何) is the call of the unit. If you don't, they'll give you a brick(砖) in your hand and you have to shave with that brick(砖).
