Advice- Only the wise know the value of it

 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.
