A wise friend named Abe just reminded me to share these words of wisdom from Mr. Bob Dylan.
Happy Birthday Bob: Thanks for your life-altering, constantly inspiring opinions.
"Oh ... there's always people trying to tell you how to do
everything in your life. If you really don't know what to do and you
don't care what to do - then just ask somebody's opinion. You'll
get a million different opinions. If you don't want to do something,
ask someone's opinion and they'll just verify it for you.
The easiest way to do something is to just not ask anybody's opinion. I mean if
you really believe in what you're doing ... I've just asked people's
opinion and it's been a great mistake, in different areas. In my
personal life, I've asked people what do you think about doing this
and they've said ... Oh Wow! ...! You know, and you end up not
using it or else using it wrong....
Yeah, you know what's right. When those things come you
know what's right. A lot of times you might be farming around and
not knowing what's right and you might do something dumb, but
that's only because you don't know what to do on the first place.
But if you know what's right and it strikes you at a certain time
then you can usually believe that instinct. And if you act on it, then
you'll be successful at it. Whatever it is."
