Taking Other People's Advice

Hi everyone! Lola here!

In my previous post, I mentioned being a very stubborn person. I wouldn't listen to my parents when they had a perfectly rational way of getting me out of my messy situation. I did in the end, but it was a little late to realize that they were right. Now, I have to pass exams without being very ready.

Throughout the year, I asked advice from other people on what I should do. A lot of them told me to do as I felt, some said it would be better to stay at University (though, surprisingly, not many).
Of course, no one could guide me better than myself. The decision was up to me.

But there was a question I kept asking myself while listening to what others had to say.
Who do I listen to? Who do I trust enough to let them drive my life in a certain direction?

Of course, the answer was staring me in the face... my PARENTS.
But I didn't want to listen to them even though, deep down, I knew they were right.

I'm scared of one thing in particular. And that is taking action too late.
I'm 19 years old, and I know that time is going to fly by, faster and faster. I want to start making my dreams become reality as soon as possible, because I think it'll be too late in a few years. It takes years to become successful in what I want to do, so I wanted to start as soon as possible... by quitting University.

I've always listened to what my parents say, but this was the first time I didn't want to listen to them. Thank God I did, in the end.

Your turn to talk! Do you often ask for advice to people around you? Have you ever made a big decision thanks to someone you listened to? Did you regret it?
 Feel free to tell your story!

Thanks for reading; keep on dreaming!
