According to Magotra, the environment of a metropolitan city can encourage people to raise their aspirations and think beyond what they may have previously considered achievable.
‘Your mindset expands’
Sharing his thoughts late at night, Magotra said, "If you have big dreams, try living in a big city. Look, I'm here. It's Sunday, 12 o'clock at night, and look, brother... When you see such huge buildings, your mindset expands. When I step out in Bangalore, I see Mercedes, I see Audis, I see Ferraris. When you see such big cars, you question yourself, 'Man, I too want this .' Mindset! The main thing is mindset, the people, the thinking. Let's go, brother! Let's go, brother!"
His remarks appeared to suggest that regularly being exposed to people, lifestyles and surroundings associated with ambition and financial success can motivate individuals to set larger goals for themselves.
The video was shared with the caption, "The reason why you should live in big city".
