There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people   36   to give 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 turns out wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely   40  . The only way to really evaluate (评估) other peoples’ 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 proper action. Sometimes you will be more   45   if you don’t go against your own decisions.

Early on in my investment (投资) career, I made the mistake of   46   a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of carrying out the   47   necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t because of   48   on my part; no one could ever charge me with that. But, being   49    to Wall Street, I supposed that my more senior   50   knew more than I did, and so I   51   too much attention to their opinions. You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in  52  . Finally I stopped allowing myself to be affected 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.
