Common sense ain't common, know the kind of people you'll seek advice from. There are two kinds of people in life:
THE BAD ADVISER
They're called the Negativity. They give wrong advice. They will never tell you what is right. If you're wrong they will say you're right and if you are right they will tell you you're wrong.
Never associate yourself with them coz once you do you're lost. So watch before you speak .
THE GOOD ADVISER
They're known as the positive mind. They see things the way it should be. They are the straight forward people,they'll never bend any word for you. When you are right,they tell you likewise when you're wrong they'll say. But today, they were hard to find coz a lot of people only care about themselves now.
So therefore if you feel like getting advice on something, online is the best place right now. Publish it on the internet for some result then choose the one you see fit.
NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO BEND YOU, SO THINK BEFORE YOU ACT.
There are a lot of opinions from different people, people who have different belief system and background, their sense of judgement may interfer with yours and it may contrast with the situation for which you are seeking advice.
