Now listen to the passage.
Don't take many English courses, they won't help you get a decent job. Sign up for management classes, so you will be ready to join the family business when you graduate. Sound __familiar__? Many of us have heard suggestions like these __put forward__ by parents or others close to us. Such comments often seem quite reasonable. Why then? Should suggestions like these be taken with __caution__? The reason is they relate to the decisions you should make. You are the one who must live their consequences. One of the worst reasons to follow a particular path in life is that other people want you to. Decisions that affect your life should be your decisions. Decisions you make after you've considered various __alternatives__ and chosen the path that suits you best. Making your own decisions does not mean that you should __ignore__ the suggestions of others. For instance, your parents do have their own unique experiences that may make their advice helpful and having __participated__ in a great deal of your personal history. They may have a clear view of your strength and weaknesses. Still, their views are not necessarily accurate. They may still see you as a child __in need of__ caring and protection. Or they may see only your strength, or in some unfortunate cases they may __focus__ only your flaws and shortcomings. People will always be giving your advice, ultimately though, you have to make your own __judgments__.
