But I have to say this. Never stick to the plan, because the world is changing. To face that you have to change your plan. So it will be better if you can create a flexible plan for your life. But it doesn’t mean you have to change your core purpose of life. If you want to be an artist, never change that purpose. Just change the ways you are going to achieve it.
