My future...?

Question

Hello, My story is a little complex and I would like some advice on what you guys out there would do...

My dad has been running a successful business abroad whilst my mother and I having been living in the US. I used to see my dad every couple of months when he used to come over for a visit then he used to return to continue running it. ( they're not separated)

Just before I was born my mum came back to the US so I get a good education/health and we would return back. The thing is we didnt go back, we stayed and I lived pretty much all my life here (Im 20 now) and my dad was out there. Now, for the past year, my parents have asked me to make a decision on what I would like to do, should we sell the business (doing really well) or make a living here?

Now the thing is my social life is here (friends etc) and I havnt lived abroad at all. I dont really know many people out there apart from family. There are so many factors; facilites/services, my future (done bsc), social life?

Answer 1

In this life the biggest mistake we can make is neglecting the freedom to make a choice that would allow us to see more of our environment, know more about our lives, and basically grow. Don't stunt yourself thinking your happy were your at because buddy if you happy were your at then you lieing to yourself, because no one is doing honky-dory in our society. Its purposeless, amoral, and shallow, and to go to a place were you might actually been seen for something else then just another dude, would be worth it. Realize half the problem with alot of us is we have no history, no legacy, or names mean nothing anymore, there was a time when being part of a family met something, now, were all just simple individuals. Go! See another country! Learn about yourself! Grow! Change! Educate your mind! Experiences is what living is all about, and besides if look at it this way. You can always go over there and if it doesn't work, you guys can seel the business and move back! If you sell the business now your missing out on the opunitunity at the very least to learn more about you and at the most change your life. Don't worry about your friends, the true ones are always there, this is about you being a friend to you, time to spread yourself around, or always wonder what could of happen? Besides you and daddo need to spend sometime together what better place?
