Here is a little advice...

I guess you can say that you heard it hear first...

Alright. Let me tell you how my day has went... all of the weekend that has just past as well as all day I have been preparing for the 3 presentations I had planned for today.

I am dressed business casual "formal" so that's like slacks and a polo with appropriate shoes to match. 1st and 2nd presentations were back to back...
Both presentations for the same teacher, but different classes. And that teacher says that since it's a group project all members have to present... which we did and I think both groups I was a part of did a good job.

Well above I already mentioned that there were 3. The last came the night of, in an organization I am a part of. This one was supposed to be a "John Solo"... or at least I think it would have been. But there was a lack of communication and they changed the time of the meeting and I didn't want to come in all late because to me it would make me look bad in front of a lot of prestigious people like the president of the school, and other high positions like that at the school.

So outside the door when I saw that I turned around and started for the door out of the building and as I made my way for the door I saw a girl I knew. I decided to ask her for her advice on what to do. She begin asking me questions like is it an organization on campus, do I hold a position in the organization and things like that. Before she could finish her questions towards me I think I had enough to make up my mind on what I should do... but while she was still asking me questions she got a customer. I told her while the customer was there that I'd see her later. She asked me to wait until after the customer left because she wasn't done giving me advice...
So I did and when she finished I said I wouldn't go to the meeting and begin to leave.

She seemed upset that I didn't take her advice...
Well I did thank her for her advice and I'm like just because you give me advice that doesn't mean I'm going to take it, because just because you share doesn't mean I'm obligated to say OK I'll do that!!... no matter how good you think it seems and it may be in fact good advice, but again that doesn't mean I will take it.

My loss right?
