How should we advise people?

How should we advise people?

What would you do if you see someone is in trouble? Are you in a group of people who: wouldn't advise at all; would advise but not effectively; would advise in a way that makes the guy think?

These days we can access to a huge amount of resources on the Internet. We read many blogs and watch a lot of videos from the Youtube Ocean to find a solution for our problems. We follow our favorite wise people on Facebook and Twitter, because we believe they have taken a journey very similar to ours and what they say will motivate us to go confidently forward. These opportunities make both potential advisor (friend, partner, colleague) and us reluctant to take part in a face-to-face conversation in order to talk about the problems.

The fact is if we don't trust the someone who wants to guide us, we keep our ears closed and inherently hate the situation in which he/she gives advice nonstop.

Prioritizing Our Needs

Prioritizing Our Needs

The Malaysian Airline disaster is still in the news. The airplane crashed into the Indian Ocean about 2 months ago. The exact place of the crash hasn't been detected by the radars yet. No sign of debris has been found on the ocean surface. Loved ones of the victims feel frustrated and hopeless. Yearly, billions of dollars are paid for researches and devices to explore other planets (we've achieved lots of huge goals though), yet we're not able to explore a certain area of the ocean to find the wreckage. How much do we care about prioritizing our needs? How motivated are we to get help from our outstanding scientists and incredible equipment to solve our planet's problems? How happy will we be when we finally find the wreckage? Will the happiness be as high as our happiness coming from new discoveries about the Mars?

Interesting People

Interesting People

Interesting people tell their history very confidently with passion and details. It doesn't matter to them if their stories convey their painful experiences. I like this quality of these people. Even if their stories may contain their weakness or faults, their current status is beautiful. I may judge them for a second, but then I get absorbed by their kindness, honesty and humility.
