Acharya Prashant addresses a father's concern regarding the social pressure his high-achieving daughter faces from peers who prioritize superficial popularity and relationships. He explains that internal standards must be set very high to prevent a person from being influenced by mediocre or glitzy environments. Just as exercising with heavy weights makes lighter ones irrelevant, introducing a young person to truly worthy individuals raises their internal bar to a point where they no longer care for the trivial trends of their peers. He emphasizes that if one does not know what greatness is possible, then any form of lowness becomes the gold standard.
