Be careful with GIVING ADVICE.

Yes, be wrong all the time. Yes, say whatever the fuck you want. Yes, explore.

But be careful with WHO and WHAT you advice.

Advice more competent person then yourself — you will likely come around as tryhard and insecure.

Mind you if you’re wrong — it can just ruin your reputation.

 

Advice an impressionable, inexperienced one — it can make you feel very good about yourself — and RUIN someone else’s life.

 

I hear stupid incompetent parent give terrible advice to children which they themselves wouldn’t have listened. But the child will.

 

When genuine care and intelligence is present — you will be looking to TRULY help the other person.

You will be unlikely to give an empty advice because you will actually be concerned with the result. You two together will explore the problem, with due care.

 

However otherwise — keep your brilliant advice to yourself.

The world doesn’t need more noise and confusion. It’s already confusing enough.

If your insights are of any value — you should be easily able to prove it with your ACTIONS AND RESULTS.

Setting example is how one truly influences people.
