There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people 36 to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you 37 is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you 38 others. Because while there will be times 39 outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely 40 . The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are 41 . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision 42 anyway.
You were 43 with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and 44 the appropriate actions, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone
against your own 45 .
Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of 46 a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of conducting the 47 necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to 48 on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being 49 to Wall Street, I intended to assume that my more senior 50 knew more than I did, and so I 51 too much significance to their opinions.
You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in 52 . Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by 53 and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to 54 this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to 55 and to life.

Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in bad weather. So when I went away to college, I knew I was in for a long 36 whenever I came home. The walk didn't bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I felt less than valued that my father didn't seem concerned about my 37 . That feeling was canceled one spring evening.
It had been a particularly difficult week at college. Tests and long hours in labs had left me 38 . I longed for home and a soft bed. Finally, the bus stopped at my destination point, and I 39 , beginning the long journey home.
A row of privet hedge (女贞树篱)edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my 40 , I was always relieved (轻松) to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view 41 a gentle rain began to fall. Suddenly I saw something 42 moving fast along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew 一 each time I came home, he had stood 43 the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.
On following visits, that spot of gray became my beacon (指路标). I could hardly 44 until I was close enough to watch for its covert (掩蔽的) 45 above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting in his chair. "So! It's you!" he 46 say, pretending to be surprised.
I replied, "Yes, Dad, it's me. I'm home."
The greatest happiness of life is the fact that we are 47 .
