This is a hard question to answer, as each situation is different. For the most part you need to do what you think is right as you are the one that has to live with your self. You should listen to the advice of your elders or peers that have been a similar situation before, because they have earned some wisdom that may help you in your decision making process. Also if what you think is right is actually harming you, ex:staying with an abusive bf/husband, but all of your friends and family are saying that you are in an unhealthy situation, you need to listen to the people that care about you. Also, how many times have you looked back at a decision that you thought was right at the time, but in retrospect it was a bad choice? You have to follow your conscience, but you also have to pay attention to the times your conscience has led you astray (it happens to everyone from time to time) and do your best to figure out why you made the decisions that you did so you will be able to avoid making the same mistake twice.

It's too simplistic a question. Simply suggesting a person always listen to others or never listen to others is not a good policy. How do I know-- maybe others are telling you to do wrong? Or for all I know, they're trying to stop you from doing wrong. What you feel is right is not necessarily the best route. People can justify a lot of things that they want. This is one of the many times when it pays to have a good religion with a good set of morals behind it. Then it can be your guide. Listen to what other people say and if what they're telling you is in line with you moral code more than what you want to do, then listen to them, if not-- then don't. Even though a person has to make his/her own choices, sometimes what others are saying is a BETTER choice than what the person wants to do. A wise person will be mindful of that.

Never let people tell you what you should be doing, unless you have asked them for advice in first place. Always listen to your heart and check the facts before you proceed... also don't make haste, haste makes waste. But, you have to remember that... if you go with what you feel, than the outcome of the situation is also your responsibility and if you go by what others say, and the outcome is not to ur liking and you lay the blame on the person who suggested to you that course of action, more often than not, they will just say that ultimately it was ur decision to follow their advice, so both ways the ball is in ur court.
Also, remember what President Kennedy of US, if I am not wrong, said:
Success has many fathers... failure none!

If you go through life doing what everyone wants you to do and not what you wanna do or feel whats right you will be affected throughout your entire life. You will start seeing yourself not being able to make decisions on anything, And most importantly you will feel guilty once you start doing what is right! You will start by asking everyone what they beleive you should do and not what you want! Sometimes they can give you the wrong advice too! So do what you think is right, then ask someone if it was the right decision. Good luck!

Do what is right, but don't "feel" - know. Be able to explain to yourself why one thing is better than another. Have a moral standard for your choices and refer to it with logic and clearly phrased sentences. Sort your values so that you know which of them have priority over which others; that way if you must sacrifice one thing to get something else, the lesser value will be sacrificed to the greater one.

Peer pressure is not the way to go because if you by peer pressure now that could be a habit in a few years.
Everyone that answered this question are all right.

Never let people tell you what to do. Unless it's your boss or someone like that. Otherwise do what you feel is right. You can't go wrong with your feelings.
