A time you just didn't listen!

We all have these moments from time to time. Can you think of a time that you didn't listen? And, on hindsight, do you think there actually would have been a right way for someone to have talked sense into you. I suppose sometimes you just have an idea in your head and you have to see for yourself.

For me, it was postponing college for a year to do a commission based door-to-door sales job! I wouldn't listen to my dad. I deluded myself into thinking I was 'self employed'. I justified it as I could think of a hundred and one reasons why my college course was sucked. But yet I struggled to think of one good reason to drop out. No one teaches you how to recognise when things are too good to be true.

 

Back in my 20's. My Mom was really pushing me to study harder in school. I didn't want to listen. I wished now that I had worked harder and kept at it longer.

 

Back in my teens. I did some stupid stuff that could've ended my life a bunch of times. I'm not going to say what it is. Better off that way. Well couple of friends figured out since I was hiding a lot from them. Well one day I was invited to their house to hang out with a bunch of people. Started off nice and chilled. Then I got the ultimatum. Yeah. I woke up and realized what I was doing and I needed to stop. I thank them for it to this day.

 

too many times i have "listened" i would have been better off not to.
