    　　It is the best way to suggest the fact that everybody has his own personality and the possibility to choose what he considers to be the best choice in his life no matter the circumstances．Very frequently we have come across the fact tha, best mend __________ and we try to give him the best dvice．As an outsider you can see things differently and you can be the best one to offer some advice．

    　　Generally, people prefer to do things in their own way which they consider to be the best．But they need to learn from their mistakes even if they repeat the same mistake two or more times．On the other hand．we cannot force people to do what they don’t want to because each one of us has his own preferences and wishes in life．For example, parents cannot oblige their children to choose to study a certain job just because they want that．A person would choose what he thinks it matches with his own personality and ambitions because this is the only way he’d feel proud of his choice and he would enjoy what he does．
