Shah Rukh Khan received an honorary doctorate from the UK’s University of Edinburgh yesterday. King Khan was presented with the honor in recognition of his philanthropic work and for his global recognition as a stellar actor around the world. On the occasion, SRK delivered a speech that received great applause from the audience. He gave some valuable life lessons that will help every person who wants to achieve their dream, like he did. Here's what we found most inspiring from his speech.

3. There's no such thing as 'normal'. That's just another word for lifeless. Madness (of the particularly nice/romantic kind) is an absolute prerequisite to a happy and successful life. Don't ever treat your little insanities as if they are aberrations that ought to be hidden from the rest of the world. All the most beautiful people in the world, the most creative, the ones who led revolutions, who discovered and invented things, did so because they embraced their own idiosyncrasies.

4. Being brave means being shit-scared all the way to the party but getting there and doing the 'Funky Chicken' in front of all your teenage kid's friends anyway. Don't let your fears become boxes that enclose you. Open them out, feel them and turn them into the greatest courage you are capable of. I promise you, nothing will go wrong. But if you live by your fears, everything that can possibly go wrong will go wrong and you won't even have done the 'Funky Chicken'.
