Advice: Recommendation to an appropriate choice of action.
There are many types of people in the world; Some who need others opinions to make
a confident decision and some who rather make a decision all by themselves.
The ones who make good decisions by themselves are usually very
knowledgeable in what they are doing. Some are just really
arrogant. Most of us typically ask someone for their
opinion or advice to feel more comfortable.
But whose advice is good advice?
Who’s Advice I Take
There’s one rule I use for getting good advice: Do I want to be like the person who’s
giving me the advice? People’s opinion are based on their own experiences.
For example, who would you ask to get a positive feedback about
college? A person who dropped out half way through or
somebody who finished with a degree and is very
successful? It’s not what advice you get,
it’s about who you get it from.
My fiance and I decided at a very young age that we wanted to get married. This was
an easy decision for us because we had similar dreams and goals of where
we wanted our life to go. Our mindset was incredibly advanced
for how young we were. We had faith in our relationship
but more importantly we had faith in each other.
We knew what we wanted but why was
it that everyone put us down?
Family, friends, and even co-workers called us crazy. They said we were too young to
get married. We didn’t have enough life experience to be talking about this
subject. At first, I would get frustrated with them. I told them they
didn’t know what they were talking about. They continued
saying the same thing over and over in an attempt
to change my mind. After a while I finally
realized something remarkable…
If I listen to their advice, I will end up in the same place they are in. I will be just like
them! I started associating myself with people I wanted to be like. I talked to
young, successful people (some who were even married) and told
them about my idea to get married. They supported my
decision and were happy for me. They advised me
that two people can reach a dream faster
together than one can by himself.
The advice from the people who I admired were completely different from the people
that I didn’t want to be like. That’s because every individual has a different
life experience. That’s where they get their advice from. Disregard
whichever advice comes from a person that you wouldn’t
want to be like. Find the people that you want
to be like and seek their advice. That’s
whose advice you should take.
