Thanks for sharing your thoughts. "I don’t want to live someone else’s life, I want to live mine" - this is a great life credo that you should remember before making any decision. People that are driving crazy and give you disapproval are just ultra-conservative and not innovative. Don't listen to advisers, follow your dream, and set your own limits. Here is another great quote.
"The only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams"
