At just 14 years old, Pritish A R is already a Guinness World Record holder in drumming, a passionate musician, and now, an author. His journey into music started early—so early, in fact, that his connection with rhythm began in his mother’s womb. Growing up in a home where music was celebrated daily, Pritish developed a natural love for it, turning that passion into something extraordinary. Today, he’s not only making waves in the world of music but also sharing his inspiring journey in his debut book, The Opportunity Mindset: No Is Never an Answer.
From Setbacks to Success
The road to success wasn’t always smooth for Pritish. Being young often meant people doubted his abilities. Music teachers turned him away, and schools didn’t always recognize his potential. But Pritish didn’t let that stop him. Instead, he used every “no” as motivation to push harder. At the age of 11, his hard work paid off when he set a Guinness World Record for the Most drum beats in a minute by a child—a moment that made all the challenges worthwhile.
His book, The Opportunity Mindset, is a reflection of that journey. It’s more than just a story about breaking records; it’s about overcoming obstacles and believing in yourself even when others don’t. Pritish hopes that his story will inspire other young people to chase their dreams, no matter how impossible they might seem.
The Power of Mindset and Family Support
One of the core messages in Pritish’s book is the importance of mindset. Throughout his life, Pritish faced setbacks, but he never gave up. He firmly believes that challenges and rejections are just part of the process. What truly matters is how you respond to them. For him, “no” was never an answer, and he hopes readers, especially young dreamers, will take that same approach in their lives.
Another key factor in Pritish’s success is his family. He credits his parents for constantly encouraging him to follow his passion for music. Without their support, Pritish says he wouldn’t be where he is today. His parents not only nurtured his love for music but also stood by him during tough times, reminding him to keep going when things got difficult.
Writing The Opportunity Mindset
Pritish’s journey into writing was just as unique as his journey into music. It took him about a year to write The Opportunity Mindset, not because of its length, but because he wanted every chapter to be a true reflection of his experiences. He often wrote late at night, using the quiet hours to think back on the key moments in his life. Writing this book wasn’t just about telling a story—it was about reliving both the good and bad moments and sharing the lessons he learned along the way.
For Pritish, writing was an emotional process. He had to go back to times when he felt discouraged, moments when people doubted him because of his age. But through it all, he stayed true to his goal of inspiring others to never give up.
What’s Next for Pritish?
Pritish isn’t stopping at just one book. He’s already working on his next project, a book about mastering musical genres, aimed at helping anyone become a musical expert, no matter what instrument they play. He’s also delving into music therapy, researching how music can help people heal and feel better.
Pritish’s passion for music goes beyond performance—he wants to use it to make a difference in the lives of others. Whether it’s through his books or his music therapy research, he’s always looking for ways to push himself and help others along the way.
A Message for Dreamers
Pritish’s story is proof that age is just a number when it comes to following your dreams. His journey from a young boy who loved music to a world record holder and author shows that with the right mindset, anything is possible. He hopes that anyone reading The Opportunity Mindset will come away with the belief that setbacks don’t define you—how you respond to them does.
For Pritish, success isn’t just about talent. It’s about determination, hard work, and a will to keep going, even when things get tough. And if there’s one thing he wants his readers to take away, it’s this: No dream is too big, and no obstacle is too great if you believe in yourself and never give up.
With his debut book, The Opportunity Mindset: No Is Never an Answer, Pritish A R invites readers into his world, sharing the lessons he learned on his way to becoming a world record holder. His story serves as a reminder that success is about more than just talent—it’s about passion, perseverance, and the right mindset.
