I'm Just Saying

So, you are quite young and asking why be so cautious with making day to day decisions. After all, isn't it the norm to ignore old fashioned advice? However, is good advice ever outdated?
Think back. What was said could have been something useful, but THE PERSON giving you guidance seemed so out of touch with modern thinking. Trust me. They are not out of touch, but are sharing with you an experience that life taught them... the hard way.
Thus, before jumping into something that may take a lot of time to get out of, remember that it DOES NOT take a prophet to predict the outcome of a bad decision.
