Want to know the biggest regret of dying people?
It is “I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.”
And it is spot on.
Life is too short I think to stay in some job or university you hate just to please your parents for example.
Pursue what you actually want whether that be a business or the true career / job you want.
Don’t have those regrets on your death bed, do what you gotta do to live true to yourself, of that means lying and etc, so be it.
