Expectations: Maybe just a product of our society

There are things that we are expected to do in order to 'achieve'. Learn to walk, learn to drive as walking is no longer adequate, get a job, get a house due to becoming successful in chosen career, have family, teach them what we learnt and continue the cycle. Its an expectation, a norm.
If we fail we tell ourselves that we don't fit, were supposed to be able to do all this, because everyone else can, we must too.
But when I think about it, aren't we all the same. We take things and do it in our own ways. I've everyone raised their children the same way wouldn't we all have the same child, living the same life and doing the same job. What would happen then. Who would be a doctor? I guess we can call upon God and our parents to be our teacher but who will lead us. Individuality is essential.
We do things our own way, a we must only allow the people that allow us to be us in our lives.
