So with all the good experiences that I've gained, I've also been in circumstances or kind of faced some things that were not necessarily good for me. I've that age because I possibly could not comprehend what I was getting myself into. But with age and with experiences, I realized what I want and what I don't want

But at the age of 16, when everyone was newly getting access to all this and everyone seemed to be cool. If you're doing this and I don't want to be the one that's not cool. So I kind of gave in. And this was mostly due to peer pressure, because obviously, at the age of 16, a child will not probably have the cottage to say no very strongly. All right. So peer pressure is a major thing and not just consumption of unnatural substances

So I would just like to kind of suggest it to the user younger people out there that peer pressure is just something in your mind. Once you outspokenly say no. Once you confidently say no, they cannot force you

I think this is such an important message because so many people of our generation to look around and see them and how they are so consumed in the entire idea of looking good pool. It is actually quite shocking and disturbing. So what do you think, Archie? That what kept you in the right direction or the right track, or what made you stay alone for UN under control, even though you were in that surrounding

Okay, maybe I should have listened to my own self so your inner feeling will never lie to you. When I was hanging around people who were so involved in all this, I somehow knew that this is not what I want. I don't feel like myself when I'm doing all this, or I don't think I fit in into this box

These words you have said are so appropriately put and so accurate. So, Archie, I'm sure you must have seen a lot of students, you know, the good students, the people who have potentially I'm not just talking about academically, but the talented ones, even they get drifted from their potential, from their talent. They get into the wrong zone and they start having a very wrong and rebellious mindset it what do you have to say about that? Like what about the good students
@arshdeepkaur

@arshdeepkaur · 1:45
That is when you start feeling that maybe you even start questioning yourself. That okay. What happened to me? I am not like this, and that's when kind of you get demotivated in your mind. So I have personally never been an excellent student. I have never been too academically smart, but I have always been very active. I have always been very invested in cocurricular activities

Completely agreeing to what you have to say Arshdeep. But I feel that apart from this people questioning your selfworth, another point which actually make things really difficult are the people around around you, the fake people around you who don't let you grow as a person or who hold you back. So what is your take on that? Any experience on that
@arshdeepkaur

So when I was growing up, I think I had too many people of this sort around me and so many things have happened and I have grown so much over the years. I think I actually need to thank those fake people because of them. I was actually able to see the reality and no matter what, at the end of the day, you are your own best friend, and you do realize that as you grow through the years

So I think you really can't help fake people being around you and trying to mess up things for you, but you will find your way through it. And it is important to push them out of your life. Once you do realize that they don't wish the best for you

Very true archdives. So now you mentioned about your concentrated circle. So would you say that these few people have helped you grow through your life, and how exactly have they kept you motivated, motivated, or inspired towards the correct path in your life
@arshdeepkaur

@arshdeepkaur · 2:03
So that kind of helps you to kind of analyze the situation from all directions in all aspects, and you will be able to make a good choice. And I think I am grateful to have genuine friends around me who want the best for me, and they've been with me through thick and thin, and I've been there for them too. So it goes both ways. It's about being there for each other at the end of the day

That was very wellfed and very well put. So now lastly, I would like to ask you that had you had a chance, what message would you give to yourself or, you know, the younger audience or the young listeners as we have in our podcast? So what would you like to tell them that? What lesson would you like them to have

You will not feel stringent or you will not feel obligated to kind of satisfy other people with what they want or what they don't want or how they're want you to Act, act how you want

Everyone has a perfect life but me. No, you have the key to your own life. And you can make it perfect by not being swayed by others. Just doing what your heart truly decides

Lastly, I would like to mention that do not try too hard with people. Know yourself worth. It is so important to know your selfworth. I'm not saying that you should not fight for the ones you love. It is obviously important to or kind of make the good people stay if you genuinely think that they are good, but always remember that what is meant for you will stay at the end of the day. So do not try too hard with people
