Hey,

Answering your question. You need to 1st decide what you really want in life. Your parents relative everyone will guide you. Just learn from their experiences but decide on your own what you want. Once you know what you want. Start working towards it. You can not predict life but you can surely plan it. And to have a good plan you need to be patient and determined. Write down your goals and start achieving things which will ultimately lead you to your goal.

All the best :)
