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.
Agree. It depends on the acceptance level of the person who we want to advise.
ReplyDeleteIf he/she has not the required capacity, it will be waste of time to advise he/she.
It will become more complex when people are in different mood. It means different capacities X different moods.
You're right Fatemeh. And capacities need time and experience to get developed.
ReplyDeletehi, I believe that peoples capacity is function of their culture.
ReplyDeleteHi Siamak jan. Sure, culture and tradition matter.
