Have you ever wished that you had listened to someone,

If we all did what everyone else said, we would probably all be in a better position than what we are...(financial, health-wise, etc). Looks definitely can be decieving...but at the same time, if we did do things that others said, we wouldn't learn from our mistakes either.

Sometimes we do have to listen to the words of others. Because sometimes other people can understand what we are doing. Other people are sometimes able to see what would happen if we do something. Because we are sometimes willing to do without thinking of consequences which we can. Especially a mother, the mother would tell us if we do something that will make us regret.

hi, yes. it could have saved me so much tears and pain that was preventable but stubborn me didn't listen. i know what they're saying was for my benefit but my heart won't listen to my head. crap. i learned next time, i have to fight my heart for my own safety... LOL. im talking about my walk in the crappy love triangle a couple years back.

it is okay to listen to all but the final decision whether to do what they are saying or not still lies within your hands.. so the final decision is still yours....

Goodness me where would I start - back in my childhood when I as told to work harder, listened to the career teacher for which college to go to, listened when people said not to take out credit cards, listened to the leader at Weight Watchers and kept all my weight off I could go on and on. But we humans only learn by our mistakes I suppose - it is a human trait.

I listen to what people say. I will think it over and decide what is best for me. Once I decided, I tried not to regret it even though I am wrong. Oh, I will admit that I am wrong, but if given another chance I think I will do just the same. Therefore, I tried not to regret every action I took, but I tried to find a way to fix it.

Human mind and behavior are highly unpredictable.On the surface, One should not simply be carried away by sweet talks,friendly advice,kind words and lovely face of others.The real intention and motives of some unscrupulous character remain hidden inside their superficial outer behavior. There are instances of innocent and simple people getting deceived and harassed by such double standard persons. It is important that one should be cautious and be patient before being confirmed from reliable sources,about the true picture of things. Thanks.

hi jugsjugs y es I have often wished I has listened to someone like my best friend who has been after me to have my eyes checked at least a year ago. So I finally did it and found ou t to my utter chagrin I have had old cataracts in my eyes but no diabetic damage but the beginning of macular degeneration but he could not say whether it would progress or not so now I am settled down andnot scared anymore I go back for the vision test this coming Wednesday. I am hoping new glasses will halt any more macular degeneration. And from now on I am going to have my eyes checked every year asI was supposed to do as a diabetic. You and I both should listen to our doctors more I am sure.You have a lot of spunk but do not overdo and hurt yourself like that jugsjugs. good luck and God Bless.

i wish i did. and now it's bothering me everyday of my life. i met a man, we got along just fine. a common friend of ours told me to look for someone else but i said it ok, i can manage. it's just friendship and laughter were having every time.. and now it has come to something i wish i listened to my friend. it's hard but it's bearable. trying to get it off but slowly.

I am stubborn and don't listen to advice very often. I do is if it is something I was going to do anyway. I do listen to the doctors advice though, because I don't want things to get worse.

Maybe we should analyze the situation ourselves more carefully. We are grown up individuals, and we should know better than every one else. We know what is best for us, and what is beneficial for everyone here. We should listen to good advise.

Yep..I do .. But only after a thorough analysis ...I will apply it.. If I find its not possible ..........I still try to criticize the opinion... Yep,we must lend our ears to elders.younger.all.. thanks for sharing.... have a great day/night....

No I never listen to no one and I am happy this way. I never listened to my parents, my teachers, my bosses at work and I am happy. Why is that? why you think they are smarter than you are and you got to listen to them??

Yes, often times my own gut feeling. I have a tendency not to listen to my own gut feeling which whether right or wrong at least I would not have felt so bad as I would nave no one but myself to blame. But that is slowly changing as I am paying more attention to me more now then ever.

I probably have ignored good advice more times than I care to think of. Sometimes it cannot be helped, circumstances just requires that certain things be done, whether you have just had surgery or something else. (I had that situation this winter/spring). I hope that you rest up from overdoing it and get to feeling better.

NOt really.. Much as i could, i will rather depend on myself rather than listened to others, including my mom.. Because i wanna experience things on my own, to get a taste of it, so that i know the pain/joy involved.. If not, it's always hard to relate the feelings when we are plain listening, but not experiencing.. hehe

Though I make all my decisions myself there have been times when I have not listened to someone and then repented. However good and intelligent a person may be there are times when they make decisions that they think is right but then later everything goes wrong. Sorry to know about your pain and hope you are okay now.

Hi, jugsjugs. You are so right about this! My grandmother told me to be careful of what I put in my body. Last year, I was taking Biotin pills and it had 1000 mg in it. I told my grandmother that I was taking a vitamin for my skin, hair and nails. And she told me to be careful about what I take. I told her that the vitamins were safe to take. I soon had to stop taking them because I was getting acne bumps on my face, especially on my forehead. The bumps was not red, it was just bumps that I could see that were tiny. I stopped taking these vitamins and I no longer experienced anymore break outs again. Right now, I have experienced an allergic reaction from taking some hair vitamins. I broke out into hives that looked like mosquito bites. It will take about another week for the vitamin's effect to leave out of my system. I think that it is the Sulfur that has caused this allergic reaction. Plus, the company increased the dosage. I guess that was a way my body was telling me that I was consuming too much of the regular dosage that my body could take. I have stopped taking these too. When I look back at what warning my grandmother gave me, I wished that I had to have listened to her.

I am blessed with an analytical mind and even someone tells me and advises me I will weigh the pros and cons before accepting or rejecting their advice. At the end of the day I am the best judge and responsible for my own actions.

Hi jugsjugs! Sorry to hear about your pain. Well, I actually grew up a rebellious guy. There wasn't anyone I would listen to. Not my parents, not my teachers. I've no regrets though. But perhaps things would have been different if I had listened to them. They do know best as they are here for alot more years than us and know by experience too, as you've put it. Thank you for the interesting topic!
