Do you feel pressurized to be successful in the eyes of society?
Just a thought crossed my mind this morning while having a bath. Do you really feel that there's a pressure on you to be successful in the eyes of society? It could be a pressure created by your own expectations or by your family or near and dear ones. But have you done something or felt the need to do something just to get appreciated by people around you - neighbours, friends, relatives etc.?
Looking forward to candid answers.

My mamaji created a record in BA(Hons) Mathematics of the Madras University on the day I was born, which had never been broken. There was a vague expectation that I should follow suit. Seventeen years later I did start on that course in Madras (curiously with one of the professors who was an examiner for my mamaji). Switched to engineering, which I love, mainly in an unmentioned protest against any (even implied) compulsion.
I believe that each should go to hell(?!) in his/her own way but take full responsibility for it without passing the buck to the parents/teachers/society. -
vishnu tejYup ! Firstly I am very delightful to discuss on this topic. According to me, at initial stage I feel everyone has pressure to be successful in the eyes of society. But finally its only matters about our own point of view. Doing things (regarding career or anything) for appreciation of others or society, without our interest is like having cancer cells that are killing us inside, but smiling towards others. The one thing which I believe is "If we are not happy inside (within ourselves), we can't experience the beauty in outside (the surroundings)". If there is a wound inside, we can't find happiness at any corner of the world.Believe me, if we fix ourselves, then we can enjoy like anything. If we are joyful, then only we can spread joy to others. If we are sad, the same reflects in some or other way that makes the others annoyable. So, choice is ours !!!
