1. Embrace Authenticity

  "Survival demands holding on to your true self. The world may not recognise you, but it's crucial to remain authentic," SRK shared with Yale University students.

2. Embrace Confusion as a Path to Clarity

"It's acceptable to be uncertain. Clarity often emerges from the midst of confusion. Don't take yourself too seriously; leave room to respect others' ideas," he advised.

3. Leaders Must Anticipate Challenges:  

 "Effective leaders reshape their world by learning from experiences. They use life's structure to deconstruct and reconstruct it. Leadership means being ready for unforeseen challenges," he emphasised.

4. Hard work is the Universal Religion

 Khan, hailing from Delhi, began from scratch and dominates Bollywood now due to unwavering hard work and dedication.

5. Find Humour in Yourself

 "Master the art of not taking yourself seriously. This disarms life's ability to bring you down, regardless of your stature," states SRK. 

6. Failure is a Profound Teacher: 

"Contrary to success, failure humbles and teaches valuable lessons. Success isn't the best instructor; it's the setbacks that shape humility."
