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 .

Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision anyway.

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.
