A person should make an important decision alone 1 A person should make an important decision alone, because a person should be responsible for himself. I believe the more important the decision is, the better a person makes a decision himself. I have three reasons to support my point of view. First, usually people hold different opinions towards one thing. If you ask for advice from parents, friends or colleagues, unsurprisingly you will find that they will give you various of suggestions sometimes even total contradictory advice. So who will you listen to? That's hard to decise. For example, my mother once planed to set up a clothes company, after hearing advice from her husband, parents, sisters and even neighbours, she lost her idea about whether it was worth to do business. Finally she gave up and missed a golden opportunity for making money. Until now she feel pity for the lost chance. The more people you consult, the more hesitant you will be. Of course, people will benefit from collecting information from others, because that will help them consider thoroughly and make a wiser decision. However, when the come to the process for making a decision, especially an important one, they should do it themselves.
