How To Be A Superstar At Work Like Rajinikanth

When it comes to work ethics, Tamil superstar Rajanikant is a role model who never gets swayed by success

- 

What makes Rajinikanth a superstar? Other actors have tried to copy his walk, the way he flicks his hair, his dialogue delivery and the tricks he performs with cigarettes and sunglasses in an attempt to emulate his success. But no one’s come close to receiving the adulation shown to Rajini ‘Thalaiva’ (boss). His every film release is celebrated like a festival and sets the box office soaring to new records.

There is a lot that one can learn from Rajnikanth, especially those climbing the corporate ladder.

#1 Don’t be afraid to start small

Life hasn’t been easy for Rajinikanth. After his mother passed away, he did odd jobs to support his family. When he made his big-screen debut in Kamal Hassan-starrer Apoorva Raagangal in 1975, he continued playing negative roles for the next two years, until he was finally cast as the lead in Telugu film Chilakamma Cheppindi. The lesson: If the work interests you and you love what you do, there’s no good or bad. Take up whatever comes your way and build on that. Your sincerity and talent will find takers.

#2 Always be open to learning
