Hear all out, but not listen to all

There will be times in life, where one would realize that his/her own opinion is no longer one's strongest opinion anymore or perhaps some just need affirmation to strengthen that own opinion. It comes a time where one would heed or seek advice from someone else, and that advice maybe ...just maybe enough to either give one the affirmation that it is right and continue to go on or perhaps in the reverse order which also means backing out.

In the natural, when in dire need of advice, one would consult and perhaps even listen to anyone irregardless of the person's knowledge towards a particular situation. Which tends to be in my honest opinion a very rash decision should it take place. On the other extreme, there are people who think so highly of themselves that they shut out every opinion and can barely see beyond their own nose bridge. Whilst, valuing your own opinion is not something negative..in fact it could very much be a strong point, it is also ones downfall.

The most appropriate should be that you hear all opinions out but also filter through what comes in and out. Whatever is useful take heed, listen..you may learn a thing or two. Whatever is not beneficial, can be discarded.

It's easier said than done, however. Never stop trying though. Good advice? yet again...your choice
