Well just my suggestion, listen to others but don't let it seep into you. Everyone is having their path and you would not know what efforts they are putting to reach to the next level. You have faith in your capabilities and keep moving with your efforts consistently then whatever happens take it sportingly. Unfair things are happening all around but don't get succumb to other;s negativity. You will pave your path through with your efforts my friend :-) My support is with you :-)
