Ashton Kutcher
2013 Teen Choice Award
|
I’m not a big Ashton Kutcher fan, so I was actually quite
surprised that he gave such an encouraging acceptance speech at the 2013 Teen
Choice Awards. He spoke about three
things: opportunity is work, being really smart is sexy, and about building a
life instead of just living a life.
He’s right. Finding opportunities is work. You have to know
what you want and let people know what you want. It’s also really helpful to
network to find opportunities. The more people you are in contact with, the
better chance you will have to find the opportunities you are looking for.
I loved his comment that “the sexiest thing in the entire
world is being really smart.” Being really smart and being able to use your
brain to help you have the life you want is probably the best asset any person
can have. Building a life instead of just living a life really means that you
have to know what type of life you want to have and work your hardest to
achieve your goal. These three concepts go hand in hand.
I think Ashton gave a great speech, and I admit that there
might just be more to him than I originally thought. As an almost-fifty year
old woman, I thought it was quite amusing to hear him refer to himself as an
old guy, the grandpa!
