How to not be gullible
Do not rush to make big decisions.
Blindly committing to a big decision may lead to consequences you might regret later. This is also the tact some people use to lure people into making a commitment without fully considering the ramifications, such as a real estate agent, a prospective employer, or a partner.
A spontaneous decision often is a poorly considered one. Do not make a decision based on one person's opinion because you are afraid will make the wrong one.
