When someone refuses to listen to you or others, there is one source or entity that he will listen to: Call it God, the universe, a higher power, karmic law, whatever. At any rate, if he feels that the universe is trying to tell him something, then he may listen. He won't listen to you or anyone else, but the universe, that's a different story.

The next time you make a snap judgment about a situation, take a few moments to understand an opposing viewpoint.

Sometimes people who adamantly assert an opinion or view don't even hold it themselves.

The reason why we often get poor advice is that it's hard to find a person who always has our best interest at heart, isn't envious in any way, and at no level thinks he knows what's best for you.

Whenever you are dealing with someone or something of unknown value the first one who places a value on it establishes its worth.

If you know how much reality is getting in, then you know a great deal about what a person sees to be true.

Never ask advice from someone who has something at stake or something to lose from your decision. The more objective the person is the greater value you should place on the input.
