If you are someone who is pretty persistent in making wrong decisions and then regretting about it over and over again, here are two simple ways of avoiding it.

You must be having some people who may advise you from time to time, who tend to be your well wishers, those who don’t mind spending time talking to you and discuss your problems. You can choose few such people and test their advices and intentions for you. Once you find that they are trustworthy and reliable, given to the intensity of it, you can totally give yourself to them. You can start relying them blindly and do as they suggest you. It will help you prevent making wrong decisions considerably.

Secondly, if you are totally aimless, or have an aim but do not know how to perceive it, make an Idol. You can choose anyone successful from your stream and follow them blindly. Do whatever they did, copy them completely. This will not take you to the top, but it will certainly take you closer to where you want to be.

The advice above are more suitable for aimless teenagers rather than grown ups, but I know many people who may benefit from this advice. However, if you want to be the best, you got to be yourself. There is nothing called second best.
