Sometimes it seems a right thing to live you own life:do what you want to do,go anywhere you want to go,because that's the way you can enjoy yourself.But when some voices come to you ears that you should get a good job,you should get a girlfriend as soon as possible etc.from you parents,you relatives,it will let you feel a little pressure.But that's not what i want.And what should i do ,i should make my parent happy,they give me too much,and it's my obligations! but if i don't do what i like ,i know i will regret.I can't make the decition,sometimes i feel life is so hard to go on.But i know the only thing is that i should find one way,with confidence and perseverance,go on! yes? time is not waiting for you......

Traveling is my top hobby and I have been very successful with it over the years. I have traveled to more than sixty different countries. My favorite ones of these have been Samoa, Australia, New Zealand, Belize and the Seychelles.
I have been successful with my studies and I went to university in my mid twenties. I always wanted to have children. I have got a daughter aged 3, a disabled son aged 5 and a son aged 17 years old.
My career has had its ups and downs. I got made redundant at age 20 years old at a time of high unemployment. It was depressing not being able to find another job. That is how I managed to go on my working holiday to Australia and trip around the world. I became a primary school teacher. Now I have a disabled child I can't work full time at this job.
I am happy with my life and it has been so exciting so far. I hope for a bright future.

You only have 1 obligation which is: taking care of yourself, making yourself happy. Your parents are adult, they put you on this world. It's their job to raise you with self confidence, ready to live your own life and leave the "nest". This is how nature wants it. All the rest is made up by family, society and yourself. I think you put this pressure on yourself the most. I have children myself, it's my duty to make them feel happy and ready to live their own lives. They don't have any obligations if it comes to me. I think it's unfair to put pressure on them if it comes to that. And you are right: time won't wait and it's not said you get old or will live forever. So if possible, do what you can do for yourself now.. not in the future!

This is a simple question, but it will take a complicated answer to cover the subject.Our life is strange and we cant say what will happen tomorrow or day after tomorrow.I think some one is controlling all our day to day activities.We can say that mysterious force as God.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well i can understand the situation u have mentioned and i have always believed that we should always listen to what our heart says for it is pure and is always meant for keeping us happiness. If we start following everyone's advise then we r not following our heart and would end up disappointing ourselves.
What say?
