Investment is realized in line with one's expectations. Remember, acting according to the opinions of others may not always be the right decision. Have your own opinion.
Such a thing would only lengthen our journey. What I mean to say is, absorb knowledge and consider other people's opinions. This doesn't have a 100% impact on our decisions.
Before considering one must verify the validity of the other people's opinion. There are lots of naive investors who lost their lifetime saving because they are too fast in believing other people's opinion. There is no harm in delaying the investment for verification purposes. Since it is our money that is in line here and not theirs.
Who else should be responsible for our lives if not ourselves? Other perspectives are still needed to broaden our minds. Sometimes, our own perspective is clouded by emotions and ego. That's what makes every decision you make questionable.
It is always good to consider other peoples belief but it would be devastating if we just believe them without any means of verifying how truthful are these opinions.
We consider other people's opinions, just as we learn scientific knowledge from others, taking what positive aspects we can.
Opinion alone is nothing but opinion based on fact is something but sadly most people are into citing their own opinion without verifying the validity of what they thought.
