Failing by following others' advice.

I think the best way out is to seeking the views of many people not just one person. You can go a little further to pay a professional to give you an advice on the areas that you need counselling. There are a lot of professional councellors who are ready to help needy people overcome their life challenges. If after seeking for their help, things never still work out. do not bother yourself still continue to pray and hope for the best. One has to recognize the fact that there are bound to be challenging times and you should not expect yourself achieving success in just everything.

I don't follow others advice. I may listen to their opinions, but I decide if what they say makes any sense before I make my own decision. I use to follow others advice, but I never was happy with the results. You are intelligent! Listen to others, but only do what you know in your heart is 100% right.

I have gone through a number of times like that. I could not blame them, because they were giving the best advice they could think of. What I did benefit from that was "learning through experience" ! It was, in a way, an experience not to make the same mistake again. Have a nice day !

i would keep the friendship and learn from the failure and experience. there is no point of blaming a friend when the most we can do is to rebound from the failure. the friend intended to help, and we took his/her help voluntarily and willingly. if we were forced to heed his advice, then it would be something else. it is advisable to take the failure as our own to be able to rebound and become stronger next time.

Listen to the advice of others but walk your own path. Life's lessons are best learned that way. Blame is something that creates nothing but hurt. Go for the results. Learn from mistakes. Next time you can't help but win.

This is why I don't usually ask for another person's advice. I sometimes can get too confused on what I should follow, the advice the other gave me or the voices I hear in my head. Most of the time I'd rather follow what I'm thinking rather than ask questions to others like a kid because if I fail, I know I failed because of my own decision. Another thing is, you'll learn faster that way.

Hello.. I've been into a situation like this. Sometimes, I follow the advises of my mother. However, I also get to listen to what my friends would say. I respect their opinions and sometimes, I do what they say if that is reasonable for me. :)
