There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people __1__ to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you __2__ is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you __3__ others. Because while there will be times __4__ outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely __5__. The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are __6__. Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision __7__ anyway.

You were __8__ 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 __9__ the appropriate actions, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone against your own __10__.

Early in my investment career, I made the mistake of __11__ a few important business decisions on colleagues’opinions instead of conducting the __12__ necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to __13__ on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being __14__ to Wall Street, I intended to assume that my more senior __15__ knew more than I did, and so I __16__ too much significance to their opinions.

You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in __17__. Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by __18__ and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to __19__ this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to __20__ and to life.
