There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you others. Because while there will be times outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely . The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision anyway.
You were with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and the appropriate action, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone against your own .

It wasn’t due to on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being to Wall Street, I intended to suppose that my more senior knew more than I did, and so I too much significance to their opinions.
You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in . Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to and to life.
