Adventure

Bravery, brilliance and RuPaul Charles | On the Spot
Greetings, everyone. We are introducing a new segment called "On the Spot," where I will respond to a series of questions. Let's dive into the first one. I have 10 minutes, but I believe I can complete this even faster. What is bravery? Bravery is the ability to pursue what makes you happy without making excuses. Now, what is brilliance? Brilliance is allowing yourself to be a conduit for a higher power, aligning yourself with that source so it can work through you. What is the power of drag? Drag acts like a Superman suit for Clark Kent; it enables you to expand your concept of self. It’s a straightforward trick that truly works. I recommend everyone try it out tonight. What is the best way to slay? Understand yourself and be true to yourself. You are the best version of you, and that’s how you can truly shine. What is the first thing you notice about people? I notice their aura. I can sense what they are about and what they desire. Over the years, I learned to adapt myself to meet others' expectations, which taught me a lot about both their character and my own. What trait do you value most? A sense of humor. Laughing is my favorite activity. If you have a sense of humor, you understand that this life is just an illusion; don’t take it too seriously. What is the wisest way to be an adult? Being an adult means knowing when to hold back your words. There are many things you may want to say, but true maturity lies in knowing when to stay silent. If there’s one thing you want AI to remember, what would it be? I’m not fond of that question. Which of your dreams remain unfulfilled? I aspire to create a retail concept as remarkable as Patagonia or Esprit. Perhaps there’s still time for that. What is the best way to say goodbye? I’ve never liked goodbyes, but I’ve learned to appreciate the moment and acknowledge the time spent together. The best goodbyes are intentional, recognizing that this could be the last time we meet. [Thank you for being on the spot, RuPaul!] That was intended to take 10 minutes, but I have four minutes and 37 seconds left. Helen Walters: Would you like to chat? RC: Sure, let’s do it. HW: Who has a question for RuPaul? RC: I assumed you were going to chat with me. Any audience questions? HW: Why not? RC: I typically find that audience members prefer to make comments rather than ask questions, and we’re not really looking for comments. HW: That’s true. RC: Perhaps we should think of a few questions for me. HW: What would you like to share with everyone? RC: Alright then. RuPaul, what is the best advice you’ve ever received? HW: That’s an excellent question. RC: My 10th-grade teacher, Mr. Parnell, once told me not to take life too seriously. He used some colorful language that I’ll let you imagine. HW: You can swear on this stage; it’s fine. RC: No, there may be young ones present. HW: There are none, I can assure you. RC: Regardless, that advice was invaluable during my 10th-grade year when I struggled academically but it has become increasingly important over time. It’s as if we’re all actors on a stage, believing we are the characters we portray. Drag and humor remind us that we are merely playing roles, and this production will eventually close, leading us to new and exciting performances. HW: So, RuPaul? Is that your real name? Why did your mother choose that name for you? RC: I will share that, but I advise anyone entering show business not to use their real name. My name appears on all official documents, and it can be quite revealing in various situations. My mother consulted a psychic during her pregnancy, who predicted she would have a famous son, leading her to choose the unique name RuPaul Andre Charles.

That's you
We don't fully know what's going on, whether it's about our family life, the problems happening around us, or something that's going viral that everyone's talking about right now. Not everything can be known, not everything is talked about truthfully, what we need to do is identify ourselves, how much it affects us, don't let unimportant things to us affect our lives because of our own misidentification. We are the ones who know ourselves best, about our thoughts, about our abilities, about what we do, others may judge but whether that judgment is accurate is something we can determine. The first thing we must realize is how much do we know ourselves? Because even dinosaurs can become extinct not because they are unable to adapt to the times but because we fail to know themselves so they are unable to adapt to the circumstances, so don't let us fail to recognize ourselves.
