Make Better Decisions by Asking for Information, Not Advice

Advice from even the most successful people is rooted in their own personal experiences.

What was effective for them may not be beneficial to you.

Ask them for

information

that it’s possible for you to translate

into

advice.

Isolate the various issues that will influence your decision and ask people about that.

Then use the smart people in your life to help solve for the variables.

Its the difference between asking: What should I do?

and Do you know anyone who ran into problems taking some time off from school?

Dont blindly follow someones advice just because they seem sure of it.

Gather information from them and use it to make the best decision for you and you alone.
