Stand up, walk tall... Bipasha Basu, millennium woman, shares insights into situations encountered at work and how she has zeroed in on what works best for her.
Respect yourself
Maintaining your dignity comes foremost, whether it is im marriage, in a job or in any other relationship. If you want others to respect you, you've got to respect yourself first. A student, a housewife or a professional, every woman needs to uphold her own dignity. So fight for it!
Be friendly, not familiar
Being friendly at work does ease the atmosphere but one needn't go over-the-top. While you may gel instantly with some people, it's good to be civil and courteous to the others. That is enough for a fine working relationship, which in turn encourages satisfying work.
Add punch to your life!
The satisfaction one derives from a great career adds punch to your personal life as well. We pursue a vocation so that we can enjoy a richer personal life: it's not the other way around. Our career makes our life run, brings in our bread and butter and so should be given due importance. It is therefore all the more important to demarcate the personal from the professional, Try not to drag private dilemmas to the work place.
Have precise priorities
Not all professional pursuits are taken up solely for money. They could be pursued for satisfaction and stimulation of the creative kind. This is why it's important to keep your priorities clear about what comes first: family, friends or your career. You could be very ambitious and yet have a great family life. The two areas can be harmoniously corelated. you needn't sacrifice one for the other.
Check your vulnerability
If you are going through a vulnerable phase in life, you could be prompted to confide in a sympathetic colleague. This opening up could prove favourable, as this person would have no direct involvement with your set of problems or your life. Sometimes though it could backfire if your confidante is totally untrustworthy! I am an emotional person but when I arrive on the sets, I keep that aspect of my personality in check. Emotionality is not required in my area, where maintaining a professional attitude is more important. Of course, once back home, I am my emotional self. I bond best with my family and select friends. I choose to be vulnerable with those I am close to.
Fight insecurity
We all face insecurity. Even the strongest, the most successful people are insecure - and ours is an extremely competitive sphere. But you have to fight it. You have to have confidence in yourself and seek satisfaction in the kind of work you do, even in the worst of times. Today I have realised that I need to trust myself, and those around me. Insecurity eventually destroys everything you have and leaves you with nothing in the end.
Forgive and forget
There's no point in raving and ranting over things. I'm the sort who reacts spontaneously, strongly and honestly. I show my feelings and it's over. This helps me more than anybody else because being inhibited and hiding emotions, complicates things. Holding back, for me, is dangerous! I know I am not God. So if I make a mistake, I have no issue about saying sorry either. I am flexible on that and can admit to my mistakes.
Let controversies lie
Being in the film line makes us the constant targets of controversies. Initially I would wonder, 'Why would anyone want to talk about me? I am just an individual, living my life, doing my work and going through my share of falling in love and breaking up. The truth is people are curious about our break-ups and speculate, 'Oh, they have broken up, it must be sad; she must have been ambitious. But at the end of the day, nobody knows what goes on in my mind! Controversies are part and parcel of a celebrity's life. You have to take it all with a pinch of salt. You have to know what you and people around your are all about. Reacting and getting upset is ultimately a waste of time.
