I've learned that while I'd be a fool not to stay open to the advice and experiences of the smart, amazing people in my life, I also need to listen to what I have to say.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Everyone who means well gives advice based on his or her perception. I have realized that while it's important to hear the suggestions, one should only listen to oneself.
One of the most talented, smartest people happens to be my wife, so I can get great advice from her. She obviously knows me incredibly well and what I'm going through. I don't know that I've been as helpful to her as she has been to me.
I've received many good pieces of advice throughout my life.
Being with someone who is smart and gives good advice adds tremendously wonderful elements to your life.
I've learned from the greatest people, and I've got wonderful things to pass on.
I learned very early on in life that not everyone wants to hear every fact in the world, even if you want to tell them everything you've ever read.
I'm a very strong believer in listening and learning from others.
We all admire the wisdom of people who come to us for advice.
I've learned to trust myself, to listen to truth, to not be afraid of it and to not try and hide it.
I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite.
