Struggle Of World's Highest Paid Actress

   "People say that you are going the wrong way, when it's simply a way of your own"  - ANGELINA JOLIE
This time I would like to share the struggling story of a brave woman who fought all odds. Her parents divorced when she was just one year old. Her mother left acting to focus on her kids. At 11, she was bullied for being thin and wearing braces. At 14, she dropped out of high school due to consistent bullying and got so emotionally broken that she began to self-harm and cut herself. In one of her interviews, she told, "cutting myself and feeling the pain was somehow soothing for me". Even when she tried to get work as a model, she was rejected for being too thin and gloomy.
At 18, she got a leading role in film 'Cyborg 2', which was a failure,  she was disappointed and gave up acting. At 19, she got into drugs, tried twice to commit suicide due to loneliness and depression. Despite all this, SHE ALWAYS FOUGHT TO FIND PURPOSE IN HER LIFE and kept exploring herself. At 20, she worked in film 'Hacker' which was of little success. Then in 1997, she did a film 'George Wallace', which earned her 'Golden Globe Award', since then she steamed full ahead and never looked back. Yes, I am talking about 'ANGELINA JOLIE'!

Angelina Jolie is a Hollywood actress, Producer, and Humanitarian. Currently, she is the highest paid actress in the world with a net worth of $160 million. She won 1 Oscar Award, 1 Academy Award, 2 Screen Actor Guild Awards, 3 Golden Awards, received the Global Humanitarian Action Award from United Nations Association. Her story teaches us that, "Chase your purpose and success will follow you". There is nothing wrong with you if people consider you 'A Black Sheep' or a failure, but there is definitely something wrong with you if you don't explore yourself and find the purpose of your life and strive to achieve it. You are really gifted if you are different from others, utilize your uniqueness in the right direction instead of being low or convincing others that you are like them only. keep your chin up and move ahead, more you struggle today, more inspirational your success story will be. keep going!
