R Madhavan urges students to ‘break the clutter’
As the clip plays, the actor while speaking about his old days in Kolhapur where he taught public speaking and personality development skills recalled an episode with his friends who came to him complaining about not getting proper exposure due to less knowledge of English languages.
“They don’t even observe a Kolhapuri boy wearing a Terry cotton pant and a shirt and wearing slippers and don’t even consider that he’s good. He could be a good engineer”, he said further adding that the fault lies within, and thus one needs to “break the clutter”. “You have to be noticed in that very first instant,” he added.
Madhavan further shared details on how he trained the people back then with basic things including shaking hands, introducing themselves, dining table etiquette, dressing correctly, and taking care of hygiene, among others.
“If you don’t do these things, ladies and gentlemen, you will be in an average life doing an average job and living an average life. If you have a passion and if you have the desire to be exceptional, if you have the desire to be seen apart from the crowd, then this is the bare minimum thing you should do,” he further said.
