Hey, Norway. That was humourous, my friend. Nope, I just meant that little things can give me a new perspective each day and that tends to make me vulnerable, understand? So I have learned to be cautious.

Oops. Since I just got through writing a poem, it simply sprang from me, unsung-- and I advise Letty to stop now.
I think I understand Letty. My clay is not dry yet either, and if I can help it it will never be...
To be able to really give someone advice, people need to understand what exactly giving advice is. I have often come across many people who think giving advice is just a way to express how they personally feel towards a subject. Thier opinions could not and from what i have found are not at all relavent for giving advice. The first part of being able to give someone advice is to be an active listener, a skill that is not easy to conquer. This way you are truly listening to what this person is saying to you and you are absording what they are saying to you without judgement and having your own personal beliefs conflict with what you are being told.
Simply stating how you would act in the situation does absoutly nothing for that person except now they have another useless solution to think about.
Personal judgement is key as well to giving advice, If you believe that what you are about to say is significant and could possiably be helpful in some way then do. Do not just saying something becuase you are not sure what to say. It is just better to say that you can not give them an answer. It is a complicated situation, and it really depends to what situation you are being placed in that advice is needed, more often then not they do not need advice more than having someone there to listen.
climbingaway, Welcome to A2K. Yes, my friend, just listening with sincerity, but then it works both ways. No one can remain mute for ever in any relationship.
Don't take advice from witches....Banquo had to learn the hard way
and you are the ghost of, discreet? Oh, yes, security is mortal's chiefest enemy.
Lol im retarded tonight....My joke woulda been good
I meant to say don't take advice from the witches in the book MacBeth
er, discreet, I think it's called drama, but no matter. Not many of us totally understand Shakespeare, including the bard himself.
letty; i 'advise' you to speak for yourself!!
[oops]
an important 'component' of 'advice' is 'context'; one should always make very clear that your advice is meant to add to the evidential data from which a decision can emerge, not to overide all the other input.
[advice is 'opinion', dressed for dinner]
Well, there he is. Hello Bo, whadda ya know.
Speaking of speaking for myself. I just remembered The Courtship of Miles Standish.
