There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people 36 to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you 37 is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you 38 others. Because while there will be times 39 outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely 40.. The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are 41 . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision 42 anyway.
You were 43 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 44 the appropriate actions, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone against your own 45 .
Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of 46 a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of conducting the 47 necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to 48 on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that.

You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in 52 . Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by 53 and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to 54 this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to 55 and to life.
