Lurker,

There is some good advice, and some not so good advice on Buddhism posted in the responses here.

I want to tell you that the best thing to do is follow your life path.

No one pretends to be something they are not who follows the Buddhist path.

Your journey is about constant polishing and refining of the soul in a positive light.

Honestly, the corporate world is very cut throat because there are many people in it who have lost a sense of direction and humanity.

They lose balance and are overly focused on ego rather than positive products or services that impact society in positive life changing ways.

Being Buddhist is not about having the attitude of a 1960’s hippie and practicing meditation under trees all day long.

Please find a Buddhist sect that you are comfortable with and also look for a mentor who will help guide you.
