in a world that's changing so quickly the biggest risk you can take is not
taking any risk and I really think that that's true right and a lot of people I
think think that you know whatever it comes to whatever you get yourself into
a position where you have to make some some big shift and direction or do
something you know there are always people are going to point to the
downside risks of that decision and locally there may be right right I mean
if for any given decision that you're gonna make there's upside and downside
but in aggregate if you are stagnant and you don't make those changes then then I
think you're guaranteed to fail right and not not catch up so to some degree I
think it's really right that over time the biggest risk that you can take is to
not take any risk are completely committed to one dimension of our
intelligence which we call as the intellect which is just the thought
process thought can only happen with the data that you have gathered through five
senses which is very limited one thing another thing is the nature of data that
the senses gather are only useful for survival process the very nature of how
you see things how you hear smell and taste and touch life is only relevant to
survival process if you wanting to know the life itself then these instruments
of perception are no good even what is life and darkness is a debate between
you and another creature which sees darkness as light isn't it if you sit
with an owl and start an argument as to which is light and which is darkness
it's an endless argument but who do you think is right if you're saying both you
are either in the diplomatic corps or or you have a successful marriage
you learn to say both both but which is the truth what I see is the truth or
what the owl sees is the truth that's not the point it is just that nature is
opened up our sense perception as it is necessary for our survival accordingly
it is opened up sense perceptions for different creatures as it is necessary
for their survival but if survival is all you're seeking this is good enough
the five senses but once you have come as a human being somehow survival is not
good enough if your stomach is empty it is only one issue about food but once
the stomach becomes full you have a hundred issues going on so the nature of
the human being is such no matter what you do you want to be something more
than what you are right now and if that's something or happens something or
something or it's an endless pursuit so somewhere a human being is seeking a
limitless expansion but trying to do it with physical means the very nature of
physicality is a defined boundary if there is no defined boundary there is no
possibility of physical happening in the universe but now a human being is
longing for the boundless that we in installments and through physical means
through the boundary you're trying to become boundless the desire is fantastic
the method is hopeless because the moment you identify yourself with
something your intellects work is just to protect that identity if you whatever
the identities of nation or family or gender or race religion whatever the
moment you identify yourself with something your intellect will only
function around that to protect that so it is a certain type of prejudice the
moment you are identified so the only thing I did with my life is I never
identified myself with anything and life just exploded within me in ways that
thought seems so puny that I do not indulge in thought most of the time I
think people have terrible risk calculus in general even people who try to be
really good about this or about it um the answer I think is almost always a
you're wrong about what is risking what it's not risky and B most people don't
take enough risk especially early in your career being on young and unknown
and poor that is actually a great gift in terms of the amount of risk you can
take and I think people don't capitalize on
that enough I think what risk actually looks like is not doing something that
you will then spend the rest of your life regretting and there's a quote you
know people regret way more than things they didn't do them things that they did
do so if you really believe in something there's an idea that you're super
passionate about you know and you take a calculated risk to start a company and
realizing you may forego a couple of years of studying coming on our job and
whatever else and you know maybe people call you a failure or whatever that's a
great risk to take and if you don't take that risk I think you have a very high
chance that you end up regretting that I think the wrong kind of risk to take is
where people don't actually do things or don't commit to something because they
don't want to fail and they over rate the risk of failure and their reputation
damage or embarrassment or whatever I think one really important thing to
strive for in your career is to be a doer not a talker and the reason that
people don't do stuff one is it's hard and two is it's risky and so you have
these people that you know want to dabble on a bunch of different projects
but never be all in on one and I think it's this combination of work and risk
and it's you know I think that's really bad I think history belongs to the doers
and I think you should take it risk actually do something don't just sit
around and talk and organize and bring together groups and go to thought
leadership conferences and whatever it is these people spend their time on
other than actually building something and just take the risk of committing to
what you you have conviction when the Sony hack happened and I and I saw the
difference in pay I spoke out because I knew what led to that I knew that there
was no one to blame but myself I knew that it wasn't Sony's fault that it was
it was what would I had done with my own mentality there's almost a gender bias
that we as women I can only speak as a woman as I've never
but as a woman we almost put this gender bias and ourselves maybe possibly that's
why I wanted to just open up and say I feel this way I feel awkward negotiating
I feel uncomfortable asking for more money I don't want to seem like a brat I
don't want to seem like all of these things that are only words that that are
used for women they don't have those words for males and if this can help
somebody great but because you don't you had gained the strength and courage to
do it yeah I think I've got I you know it's been an awkward process because I'm
growing up a little bit in the spotlight so it's I used to just keep my mouth
shut you know about everything because my job depends on everyone going to see
my movies not just people who agree with my opinions and people don't really like
opinionated actors and or any celebrities so it's scary to do it
because you know that you could be losing friends or box office tickets but
as I get older and I learn more and I and I have opinions I go yeah but I I
don't have I have just as much of a right to speak and was something like
that was something that's so clearly unfair if I don't use my voice for women
who don't have a voice then what's the point we developed this concept that we
call spiritual genetics may we all understand genetics you got to get your
mom's eyes your dad's nose nothing you can do about it but the spirit of who
you're going to become as a person the soul of who you're going to become as a
man or a woman I believe you can choose I believe you can choose you've read my
book you know I could have become my stepfather I could have become another
alcoholic wife Beating child abusing the illiterate loser and a lot of people
would have said well look where he's from he didn't have a choice
well I did I chose to embrace the light I saw my mom the light was greater and I
chose to embrace the light briefly how the book came to be I didn't
just sit I didn't went there and say let me write a memoir I was not prepared to just sit
down and go through all these little boxes of stuff that we all have in our
heads their minds were all stamped with the
same tag do not disturb it was not my choice but I was getting an award one
night for fatherhood big a program and the MC was to keep the program
rolling and he kept citing all these statistics and he kept saying the same
things over and over have you from this family have you from this house if you
lived in this environment this is who you're gonna turn out to be none of the
things were good and I kept sitting there saying to myself the extended
version of that's BS that's BS to the point that when I got up to the
microphone to get my award you know what came out of my mouth I'm so glad I said
it because in a world full of a thousand people so many people came up to me
afterwards and said thank you because I'm from that house I'm from that family
I'm from that environment just like you and I made a conscious choice to go the
other way and I think as I as I sort of reached certain milestones certain
accomplishments you know it only makes me realize that I need to dream bigger
and I think that same thing for you guys I think as you really build that
confidence through your career as you really start start you know building
your career and building your relationships and seeing your dreams
actually realized you just have to continue to keep dreaming bigger and
that's why it's so important to always continue learning in my opinion because
there's always there's you've never made it I think we all can always continue to
do to do more to be better and bigger to me I think my strengths is just a
complete obsession to any expression of empowering people and teaching people to
cook this is that simple whether it's a book the paper it's on the photographer
who's sitting next to you know 15 years later the effort on design how we lay
out a page to tart try and empower belief in Bogner to veer to achieve
something you know it's really affordable that a king would be happy to
eat you know I mean ultimately that is what it comes down to for me
