Depending on what you do, and who you associate with, there will be people in your working life who will give you advice and often try to influence you to move in certain directions in your career. As you gain experience you'll develop your own ideas as well and they may not always be inline with what others think you should do (or what they want you to do). When you hit a situation like that, don't discount what you think you should do just because someone else who's older, or higher up tells you something else.
No one is going to make the right choice 100% of their time in their life or their career, and if they do they're damn lucky. But I think when you follow your own path and it doesn't work out, you can at least respect yourself for going your own way and move on. Whereas if you follow others and that doesn't work out, it's tougher to let that go and just move on. Conversely when it does work out, it's much more satisfying knowing you went your own way.
