I learned that you can constantly improve, and that you should not be shy about your views, and about the direction that you believe is right.

I've learned to trust myself, to listen to truth, to not be afraid of it and to not try and hide it.

I've learned that for Indian people, the opportunity for us to succeed is very slim. So acting was a great tool for that. And in the process of learning about my culture, I've learned how to connect myself again to my ancestors.

Living in different cultures helped me work out who I was going to be, separate from where I came from.

I always knew I was different and that people had opinions about me. I guess I learned as best as I can to shield out a lot and live my life from within.

Travel early and travel often. Live abroad, if you can. Understand cultures other than your own. As your understanding of other cultures increases, your understanding of yourself and your own culture will increase exponentially.

I try to learn from every experience, good or bad.

I learned how to be a learner. When you get in a job, the tendency is to say, 'I've got to know it. I've got to give direction to others. I'm in this job because I'm better and smarter.' I always took a different view, that the key was to identify the people who really knew and learn from them.

Through my education, I didn't just develop skills, I didn't just develop the ability to learn, but I developed confidence.
