Have you ever made a bad decision in your life? Who hasn’t?
In hindsight, review a couple of your bad decisions. Then ask yourself if you made those decisions on your own or if you may have consulted the wrong people.
When His Holiness Tamal Krishna Goswami engaged me as his long-term secretary, there were many lessons for me to learn. One of the most important ones was to consult with others before making important decisions. This idea is millennia-old, but unfortunately is often not followed.
