I feel so insecure about other people telling me about my future. Pursuing what I want?Please enlighten me?

I believe that you should do what to you to do. I know i always used to think about what other people thought of me along the lines of my career. There is nothing wrong in pursuing what you want in life, you are the main person in your life so you have to make the chioce for your self. The direction path that you have chosen may take you up the ladder more and you will be able to do higher things
