Acharya Prashant addresses the common concern of boosting self-confidence by pointing out that confidence is not something to be acquired from the outside, but is an innate quality we are born with. Using the example of a student who asked the question first, he demonstrates that the student already possesses the very confidence he is seeking. He explains that we often look for things externally that we already have within us, much like searching for a microphone that is already in one's hand. The feeling of a lack of confidence is actually a result of forgetting our true nature due to social conditioning.
