Overview
Just because you take the advice of friends and associates and follow it to the letter does not mean that you are not responsible for the outcome. You made the final call, and you have to accept the consequences. Sure, things might not have worked out exactly how you were promised they would, but that is no reason to blame others. The sooner you accept what fate has given you, the sooner you can get to work pushing things back in the direction you need them to go.
