This article was really nice. Thanks for sharing. Relate with your insights, very interesting. Thanks
The article was so interesting! But are motivational speakers worth listening to over influencers? Maybe they also have hidden private lives that we don't know as well.

I agree with you there. I felt the same towards the end when I read that. I prefer philosophical books, selected podcasts and experiencing things on my own and learning from them.
This article is amazingly Witten and I loved reading through this article. I could see the sad part of internet and also how much we have fallen pray for the likes, fallowers. Thanks for sharing this article with us and giving food for our thoughts.
Very interesting article, it was an amazing read , the author has written everything step by step making readers easily understandable , it's short and crisp,
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Interesting article. Although, I don't agree completely.
I agree that are some influencers with "fake it till you make it" attitude but there are influencers who do influence people about the right things. They do share their insecurities with their followers.
Whereas, there are some motivational speakers listening to whom we might feel pressurized to have things in a certain way.
In the end I think it's really up to us. It is our job to understand what effect somebody has on us and whom should we look up to.

I agree that a bigger part of the responsibility is on us. The focus here is on the new-gen influencers who fake it and misuse the attention they get. There are always exceptions and we should be more mindful and not let even the good influencers over-influence us and take control instead empower ourselves with the thoughts they give us.
