Giving And Receiving Inteligent Advice

Can you determine if there is anyone out the in the world who have not given an advice to anyone before? If we think about it carefully, we all must have given advice to someone at one time or another. Have you wonder why human being likes to give advice? In my thinking, I feel that it is because naturally human beings likes to share. Well, think about it, if you think you don't like to share, why would you give your point of view freely?

Well, that's what advice is all about: giving point of views. Whenever you are giving out your opinion, you are indirectly telling someone your piece of mind that you believe right. It is because we believe our opinion is alright to share, we are sharing it. If not, I don't think anyone will share it unless that person is a mean person sharing the opinion to hurt someone which is something that's undeniably happening all around us. You can see how people speak out their mind in the believe that they have the right to speak anything but never really considering how it will affect others.

What I am saying is that, there are good advice and there are also bad advice. In another word, there are good point of views as well as bad point of views. Have you ever thought about your own point of views before giving it out to someone? Well, whether they accept it or not is another thing but have you thought how it will impact the person hearing it? It is important to give good advice to others and if we want to give good advice, we have to be really an expert on what we are talking about. You have to be a master in it.

Do you think it is exceptional in some cases? No there is no exception for any case. Let me illustrate. Let's use an example.. let' say in giving relationship advice. Perhaps you have had a bad experience but you learned something important about that particular area in relationship and know how to deal with it. Using this experience you can give advice to someone who needs the help in that particular area. You can be said an expert particularly in that area although not an complete expert. So experiences are also important when giving advice to someone. What have you learned so far? If you have learned about something completely, you can be considered as an expert in that field. However, wisdom tells us that we can never be perfect in this world, because learning never ends down here.

What I am trying to say in this article is, when you are giving advice, try to think about what you really know about and what you are trying to say. Are you sure what you are saying is true? Don't simply give an advice just because you believe it to be true. Make sure you have some kind of hard personal experience or evidence to support your advice so that others will really benefit. Sometimes, even a degree holder can't give the correct answer, but a layman who have related experience may be able to answer you.

If you are going to give an advice anyway, follow this guideline. Prior to giving the advice, as I said, make sure it is true. Once you know it is true, you need to find out if giving the advice will be kind to the person receiving the advice. Meaning, you don't want to say things that will hurt the individual because that's what love is about. In this case, one may argue, what if it is necessary to give the advice despite the fact it will hurt? This is where we need to use our discrimination properly. We need to make sure that it is absolutely necessary to give the advice. Otherwise don't give it. Sometimes, it is good to let others face the situation they are facing in order for them to learn and become the master of that problem or situation.

In a nutshell, before giving any advice, ask yourself, is it true, is it kind and is it necessary. You need to fulfill all the correct answer to this questions. If all of it says yes, than by all means go ahead, give the advice. Remember, when giving advice, you are going to affect the decision of the individual receiving your advice. Are you prepared to be accountable? Give advice responsibly.
