What is a role if you cannot improvise right? A stage director can only lay out his ideas and ensure that the props are set but it is in an actor’s hands to deliver the performance. A stage director inspires while the actor ignites. The integration of such inspiration and ignition is the beginning of self development. Apply this analogy to yourself. Assuming you to be the actor and life the stage director, let’s analyze how to succeed.

Some actors are supposedly more ‘talented’ than the other. Unlike a stage director, life is impartial. It does not have a favorite and treats everyone the same way. The biggest difference that makes us unique in our stage is our roles. We differ based on the roles we play and the scene we are part of. The scene I speak of here is the criteria of rich, poor, happy, sad, urban area, rural area, etc. Irrespective of the scene however, life provides everyone with abundant opportunities. Of course you have talent! You find it, snag it and make money out of it, is probably what Woody Allen might say, but the essence of his crude line is pretty obvious isn’t it?
