I remember the time when I was a sophomore and my fellow classmate advised me to get serious about life as life is what one makes it. I used to be a person who used to roam about, spend time with friends, hang around and stuff. I had gone to lots of trips and was not doing well in academics. I, that time ignored his advice for obvious reasons because moving out of my comfort zone and doing something I was not ready for was just not my thing. I was scared of missing out all the fun I was having and so I continued with my so-called "happening life".
Honestly from my point of view, not taking good advice at the right time may cause you harm and you might end up regretting the decision you made. It is only good to ignore "good" advice when you trust yourself and your instincts and believe that whatever you are doing is right and you won't have to regret it later in your life.
One can separate someone’s good intentions from good advice by knowing that not everyone who has good intentions can provide good advice, many times it may prove to be fatal so it is better to distinguish the good and the bad.
The best strength that I offered my classmate was to get him his confidence back which he lost somehow due to continuous failures which were coming his way.
