How do we youth balance between rights and responsibilities?

Question

First question for today Sadhguru. I being a law student, give a lot of importance to the 'rights' that I posess, which is basically the fundamental rights that we are talking about. So, I think I should probably be allowed to sleep during classes, because that comes under the purview of article 21, right to life and liberty. But, I also have a sense of responsibility that I should stay awake and focus on what is taught. So, How do we youth handle the rights and responsibilities? If I can say, how do we youth balance between rights and responsibilities?

How to build my self-esteem?

Question

So, the second question is - I often find myself in a situation where I am not happy with myself. I compare my abilities, achievements, and even my appearance, with that of others. Also, I think since I’m a humanities student, people around me constantly compare me with my other friends who have taken up medicine or engineering. And that really puts me off. And I think that’s one reason for my low self esteem. How do you think I can build up on my self esteem and get rid of the self hatred that I have?
