Do not allow others to dictate your success

Our life is not a template at all in terms to our age. For example if you are already 30 years old your career must be already established, you are already a manager, promoted and your salary must be increased way higher than your salary before. More so people should not compare and pressure to other people in terms of job for example the other one is already successful and the other one is not. No wonder why there are too many cases of failure in terms of business, career even in family relationship and so on just because of this kind of mentality. We are the only person who has the right to choose our path, nobody else nor other people. I've been pressured that much because of the others that became permanent to their jobs, so chances are I wasn't able to accomplish my dream career because of the pressure about salary, money or finances. People somehow degraded me just because of money, profession and they always criticize me because of the job. Chances are I cannot concentrate on the things that I should do especially if I want to study the tutorials because of this kind of pressure of money. People value much about success and money but then you will realize some of them are having troubles with the marriage and family relationship even with their children. They thought that when they are successful financially or even rich they are entitled to everything especially as a person. They also thought they are excuse for the wrong doings.

Yes I don't like being dictated of my success just because your family members, relatives, friends and other people are successful in their career and they are already richy then you must do the same. That is not the case. The expectation about the career will also lead to failing in handling the relationship.

I couldnt agree more. I like the last paragrapg very much. Success means having a good family relationship, doing what you love, freedom something to.sustain you.

Many people always thought that if they are already successful the challenge won't come to them or it will be forever. They still tend to put down other people while there are still challenges in life that needs to solve.
