Acharya Prashant advises a seventh-grade student on how to navigate the challenges of adolescence and personal growth. He emphasizes that the primary responsibility of a student is to master their school textbooks. He explains that the curriculum is designed to provide the necessary mental nourishment and a solid foundation for life. He cautions against treating textbooks as a mere formality for passing exams, suggesting instead that they shape an individual's character. He encourages developing a deep, affectionate relationship with books, viewing them as one's first circle of friends before seeking external sources of knowledge. Regarding the conflict with peers and the backlash faced when discussing complex topics like geopolitics, Acharya Prashant advises against trying to teach or preach to unresponsive people at such a young age. He explains that engaging with those who are not interested in learning can hinder one's own growth and dissipate valuable energy. He compares this to lifting weights that are too heavy for one's current stage of development. Instead, he suggests focusing on self-improvement by spending time in libraries, engaging with worthy individuals, and consuming high-quality content, rather than trying to convince those who do not wish to listen.
