'Shut up' is generally bad advice

I've lost my way some years ago when, many times, I chose not to do what I really wanted and instead followed what other people belive was the right way. And I did this so often that it became almost automatic. I didn't relised it then, but I was reproducing the way I interpreted my mom's behavior. She always made decisions based on previous experiences - if something had worked for somebody else, she would consider trying it.
