The experiences of others

A fox asked a camel standing on the other side of the canal: Where does the canal water reach?

The camel replied: Up to the knee.

As the fox jumped into the water and began to drown, sometimes diving, sometimes sticking his head out, clinging to a rock in the canal with great difficulty. Why did you say that water comes to the knees?

The camel replied: Yes, the water comes up to my knees.

When you consult someone they usually respond to you in the light of their own experiences, things that may be beneficial to them may be harmful to you, so someone else's experience may be the definitive solution. Don't go for less that your full potential.

Take advice but make your own decision.
