If you think, Living up to others expectations is what you mean by living then believe me, YOU'RE WRONG. A part of these words is correct somehow but not really worth giving away your whole life. 

It is said,

 " Create your own ladder for your Dream, others ladder may be fit for their dreams but it cannot assure you your safety"

If living for others was suppose to be a motto of everyone's life, this world would have been a great mess. Teachers wants their students to be obedient when they spend their youth staying not very obedient, Parents want their children to give up their dreams if they're (Parents) not satisfied with it, when they are living today because their dreams helped them survive in their hard days. Everyone wish ofor other to be as Perfect as they can, but one reality that is to be accepted is that no one in this world is perfect. your "NOT-SO-PERFECT" part is the only one thing that makes you unique and perfect in any manner.
