Don’t listen to everyone

- By Kryselle Mary Barretto

The moment we step into the world, we face so many hardships. We have good and bad experience­s. Do we even realise that our mind collaborat­es and mixes up many emotions together? Nowadays, people are more interested in the lives of others, than their own. Whenever we decide something for ourselves, we always tend to ask people for their opinion and suggestion because we feel they know better.

However, it is important to listen to your own mind and heart. We must always keep in mind the pros and cons of different situations before considerin­g our decision.

In Goa, I have seen many people migrating to the United Kingdom, which is a good idea as it gives new and special opportunit­ies to people. It gives people more career choices. Some people may object to this, but why are we considerin­g the opinions of others when making a decision? It is a necessity to earn money. But it is not easy. It always starts with a struggle. I believe life is nothing but a challenge to overcome daily. If one door closes another door opens. Everyone has different views and opinions. However, as an individual you need to keep in mind that everything has a negative and a positive scenario.

In this current generation, even children come up with new possibilit­ies and have ambitions very early in life. And when given a chance, they may realise those dreams. We should stop listening to everyone else and focus on ourselves.
