They Can Only Talk. Only You Can Act

The book Rich Dad Poor Dad, by Robert Kiyosaki, tells about him being taught two different things, by his two dads, at the same time. Being one of the most successful people, how did he actually able to gain success, if he was being two different contradicting type of advices? Which one did he follow?

Maybe you would say that obviously he is successful because he took Rich Dad's advice. At first, I also had the same thought. But if you actually took time to read the whole book, it is actually not as simple as that (I did not say that it is not true, okay?).

What he did was, he took his time to listen to both sides, and then he made his own decision. Now that was how he became successful.

The same principles also applies in out lives. People around us are being shaped by different personalities, backgrounds and stories. So, we should not expect the same advice from all these people, because we all have different opinion.

But with all of the different advices, how are we going to choose which one to follow?

Answer: You don't have to.

Instead, what you should do, is to listen to them, and then analyze them.

Just think. What will happen if I follow this advice? What will happen if I follow that advice? What will happen if I don't?

And then, you need to come up with your own decision.

Only you know what you are going through. Only you know what your condition is. 

It is totally good to seek advices, but when it comes to actually take action, it is totally up to you.

So next time, when you are loaded with too much suggestions, or too many advices,

remember that you are the one who control everything, and you know what to do in your life.

They can only talk. Only you can act.
