When I look back on the decisions in my life, it is with mixed feelings. I can clearly see that sometimes I've been following a strong feeling, sometimes I've been influenced by someone's opinion and other things have just been coincidences.
To follow a strong feeling can't be wrong, can it? Of course it can, but a strong feeling is at least true and genuine, if you think you are aware of where it comes from or the reasons why you have it.
It annoys me when I afterwards realize that I've been maybe too much affected by other people's opinions in important decisions.
I also regret being shy and for having fear. Sometimes we don't do things because we have fear. That's always a bad excuse, isn't it?
When it comes to my career, I look back and think; "why didn't anyone give me advice?". Experience it something we seldom have when we are young.
The conclusion is that when it comes to personal matters one should always take complete own decisions, but when it comes to career, one should listen carefully to others. That's my general thumb of rule. And to never have fear, of course.
