to know the road ahead, ask those coming back?

Question

i have to relate this to my personal life, but i cant think of any time it does!!! it needs to be sometime when i seriously asked someone about the road ahead. is there any time you have? please help!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

You may get someone else's picture of the road ahead, a perspective drawn from their understanding and experience. You may be alerted to traps that lay ahead but you must still keep an open mind and not assume a perspective which has been inked upon your mind by another. Getting a range of opinions will more likely furnish you with a more balanced approach and expectation.

Even then, you may come back with a totally different story.

I have, and this is what I've learnt from it.

Answer 2

umm...well u cant really know the road ahead. because anything can happen. even if someone told u all the exact directions, there may be some kind of road block that u didnt expect. just like in real life. but i guess the best way to know the road ahead.in life...is to just listen to advice parents give. and other adults..because they've been thru it and they've probably learned from their mistakes. i dont think i totally answered ur question. but i tried =]

Answer 3

I do not agree with this notion. All of us travel the road of life. The paths are different, and we are different. Sure, why not ask the ones coming back. But you must still travel down the road.

Think of their anecdotes as guides, or maps.

Answer 4

Easy answers are not always wrong... but often, the easiest answers are the ones that somehow support our emotional inclinations. If we feel passionately about something or someone, we will immediately prefer the explanation that confirms our feelings. But sometimes we project our opinions on to situations where very different criteria ought to apply. You now feel very sure about something. Think again. Really question your own certainty. If it doesn't go away, trust it. If it does, revise it.
