Getting facts before drawing a conclusion

In making personal decisions, I don't rely on other people's advice. I usually ask my hubby who can really give me some wise advices or my mother if it is some major decision. At work, it is wise to just trust your own judgment rather than listen to a secondhand opinion. I like to test it on my own so that when it fails, it's only me…I don't need to point fingers and things can get messy when you start pointing. I sometimes have more mistakes when I listen to others.

How do I make up my mind? I surround myself with information. I give myself time to understand the problem. If other people brings in their own opinion--- even if you didn't ask for it (and they even feel good after assuming they gave fail-proof advice) hah!, I look for distorted facts and think how twisted people can give such an advice. Hahahaha! Really, some can really be pushy with their advices. But unless you are really convinced how these people can help you, you can listen to them and make your own decisions. Right or wrong, you only have yourself to blame if the outcome is less than favorable.
