Me When a Bad Tells Me What to Do
I was sitting at a table with a group of friends, playing a game of cards. I had a pretty good hand, and I was feeling confident. But then, one of my friends started telling me what to do. He told me to fold my hand, even though I thought I could win. I was annoyed, but I did what he said. And of course, I lost.
I’ve been in situations like that before, where someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about tries to tell me what to do. And it always ends badly. I’ve learned that it’s important to trust my own instincts and not let other people tell me what to do.
When Your Gut Tells You Something is Wrong
There have been times when I’ve ignored my gut feeling and it’s cost me. One time, I was offered a job that seemed too good to be true. I was excited about the opportunity, but something inside of me told me to be cautious. I ignored my gut feeling and took the job. Big mistake. The job was a nightmare, and I ended up quitting after a few months.
I’ve learned that my gut feeling is usually right. If something feels wrong, it probably is. It’s important to listen to your gut and not let other people tell you what to do.
