      Your friends warned you!

      You are quite determined to do something adventurous but rewarding at the same time. Nevertheless, almost all of your friends unanimously deter you from carrying out the task. In this situation, what would you do? Would you listen to your friends?

      Well first it depends on what this adventurous task is and what impacts does it have in my life. Then I will ask my friends what their reasons are, for preventing me from doing the task. At the end, I will consider all the things together and decide what to do.

        * what impact it could have on my life
        * You should know the difference between ‘in the end’ and ‘at the end’. In this context, the former is appropriate.

      According to my experience it is better to listen to my friends. In the past a few times I did not do that and most of the time it had bad results. So if my friends especially those who have good knowledge deter me from doing something I certainly listen to them.

        In response to your viewpoint, I should say that, as a general rule, I carefully listen to my friends’ feedback and analyze their opinions critically. However, when it comes to decision making, I’m mostly influenced by my own analysis and intuition. In other words, my friends’ opinions can just sharpen my senses and perception. Yet, I don’t let them determine the course of my life.
