When to take advice

Before you take advice look at where the person giving the advice is standing. The issue is not whether it is good advice or bad, but rather if the advice is authentic. Authentic advice comes from a position of experience, exposure, education and expertise. Mischievous advice has a character flaw that usually comes with an obscure motive or concealed intent. The third consideration for when to take advice is if you are willing to take responsibility for it. Once taken you can never say "I was told by so and so", for you to own advice take time to weigh the cost to others with respect to the measure of advancement the advice will afford you. If these three are aligned its worth considering.
