When you are leaping without a safety net, people become your safety net and you become theirs.

A história por trás desta citação
Yeoh's third and final tip — 'Find Your People' — culminates in this image. She's argued throughout the speech that life is not a zero-sum game: most success stories are less about competition and more about collaboration. Her achievements are the results of those around her who offered support and belief. Her community is vast — family, actors, directors, stunt people, dancers — and transcends time: she stands on the shoulders of those who came before and is energized by those who come after. As UNDP Goodwill Ambassador, she's seen how women and girls are often the last to receive essential services. Her commitment to walking alongside them comes from the same conviction: when the net disappears, we become each other's net.
