No matter how young or old you are, you must have gotten to a point in your life when you have to take a big decision, which will probably affect your entire existence. There is no doubt that there are certain moments in life when you feel helpless and disoriented and believe you could use a hand in order to figure out how to proceed with your life. Those particular moments are very moments when you should not depend on anybody’s advice, because, even if they gave it to you with best intentions, in case anything goes wrong, you’re always going to blame those persons.
