When falling, the tendency is to tighten up, to brace for impact. But in truth, the safest thing one can do is remain calm — even curious about the shifting world around you.

这句语录背后的故事
This is Yeoh's first of three tips — 'Stay Loose' — drawn from the moment her dance career ended due to a spinal injury. She credits the principal of her ballet school in England for encouraging her to stay loose about her future rather than bracing against the devastation. With her dreams of dance crushed, that openness led her to return home to Malaysia 'more open to other possibilities outside the box,' which eventually led to a commercial in Hong Kong, then acting roles, and the start of her life in film. For law students trained to control outcomes and manage risk, Yeoh's advice to remain curious during freefall is counterintuitive — and that's precisely the point.
