Warrior's Mindset | Priya Vardana Pandidurai | TEDxYouth@RJM

Priya Vardana, a young archer and student of RJ Mantra English School, shares a journey beyond medals. For her, archery is not just a game but a path to discover the warrior within. In her TEDx talk, she speaks about missing targets in her early days but staying committed through discipline and effort. One powerful lesson she shares comes from a school experiment where she made plastic from milk by heating it, adding vinegar, and stirring until it became hard. At first, it looked like a mistake, but over time it turned useful. This showed her that like milk turning into plastic, growth takes time and care. Rushing spoils the result, but trusting the steps turns something ordinary into something remarkable. This idea helped her stay strong in archery even when progress was slow. Through her TEDx talk, she encourages others to be patient, believe in the process, and keep going no matter how difficult the journey seems.
