The best advice I've ever taken to heart came from my mother about listening to friends, or just about any other people - "Never take advice from anyone who hasn't been where you want to go." Since hearing that, it's really changed how I take what people say. The way she explains it is a bit like taking advice about the flu from your car mechanic. It just isn't logical to trust the advice just based on an interpersonal relationship you have with that person. While they may mean the best, that doesn't mean they know what they're talking about.
