When Shah Rukh Khan was invited to address the graduating batch of Dhirubhai Ambani International School, his speech probably left everyone inspire. But when it's King Khan, it can't be without quite a few chuckles. Shah Rukh Khan has a penchant for making good speeches and he didn't disappoint us one bit.
The Star shared anecdotes from his life to deliver an amusing and inspiring speech to the students.
Khan shared incidents from his life before he became a film star, stories on his parents, his struggles, crushes and heartbreaks. He also shared the secret about his "rubbish poetry" and even took a dig at US presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Here are a few life lessons that we picked from his speech:
1) Don't let anyone tell you who you are and what you ought to be, listen to your inner voice.
2) When you will be 50, you will know that the bulk of your regrets are from not having done what you wished to do.
3) Taking your blessings for granted is the most stupid thing to do.
4) Sometimes the queen looks attractive but if she gets taken by an adversary straight after you have saved her, then you might be better off saving your castle or the bald bishop instead. So don't always choose what seems most desirable if something tells you it might get you into trouble.
5) Learn to laugh at yourself and don't take yourself seriously no matter what you become. It makes you braver and changes your perspective. Without a sense of humour, the world will be a dull, dreary place. Humour is the only ticket to being childlike and innocent.
6) If you are foolish enough to imagine that the little graces you are given are of no value, you end up nowhere. Learn to look at the tiniest things that make your life special.
7) Never be angry or hold a grudge against your parents. The choices we make for you are ultimately your choices, you are just not aware of it yet.
8) Taking your blessings for granted is the most stupid thing to do.
9) These are the only years when you'll be allowed to make regret-free mistakes. Make them because that's how you will chance upon your dreams.
10) Whatever you are doing, do it once. Then do it one more time even more carefully. Be diligent. Don't just work, outwork yourself and nothing can come in the way of glory.
11) All you want to be is yourself and you're quite sure you know what that is. I'm here tonight on your side only to confirm your conviction as you set forth in the big, bad world.
12) Think of every job as your first one so that you have to get it right to impress everyone. At the same time, do it as your last job as if you won't get it a chance to do it ever again.
