Advice- Only the wise know the value of it
We all would have come across people
who give us advice; some we take seriously, and some might not. On the other
hand, we do provide advice to others. When we closely examine the advice, some
of it is not mere words; it is shared experiences. When we come across someone
who gives us advice about failures and mistakes, they are sharing their
knowledge so we can avoid the same in our lives. For instance, some would say,
"Don’t invest money in the stock market based on WhatsApp forwards, who
knows, he would have lost his money due to such forwards." Some might
advise us on the value of health; he is probably sharing his experience based
on his hospitalisation. Some might value a relationship; she would have lost a
good one.
Sometimes we come across people who
tell me, "I don’t like people who give advice," and I don’t like to
give advice; they are right in their own way. But why should we ignore some
life lessons that can make sense in our lives? Why should we stop sharing our
experience, which can make sense to others? Life is all about helping each
other in our own way, and advice is not just mere words; people invest a few
minutes or an hour of their lives to help someone.
Next time, when you come across someone
who would like to give advice, pay attention for a while. If it makes sense,
work on it; otherwise, consider it time invested in strengthening a relationship.
