Your damned if you do, and you are damned if you don’t. Everyone and I mean everyone, will have an opinion of how you should do things and what you are missing. Go ahead and let them have their opinion and do your work. They may be projecting things on to you they wish they would do for themselves. It often is not about you, and you should realize this. If you focus on you, you will wallow in misery. You will be trying to live up to someone else’s expectations and it will not be good for anyone.
