life is not a video game in which you get immediate feedback about whether or not the decision that you took is the correct one, most of the time you are not going to discover this until many years have already passed, in which case it is even more difficult to change your life to remedy your mistake.
This is why you need to have the ability to think long term and think what kind of effect your decisions will have and whether or not that is what you want.
Well, the good thing is that whatever decision it is that you’re going to make there is the possibility that someone else has made that decision have passed through whatever would possibly be the consequences. So, that’s why it’s also good to take advice from other people and apply the lessons that you have learn from them to your own life and that way you get to avoid problems that would have delayed you in your life. That’s just it.
You have to keep reading and seeking for advice from your elders, and even age mates because it’s possible they would be more experienced than you.
