Conclusion: Advice on Advice

In this paradigm, there are two sets of people. The first set would rather think of the problem on their own until they come up with their own solution. The second set will gather different advice from different people in order to get the best answer in his or her dilemma. Question, did the second set use advice? The obvious answer is yes. The follow-up question is this: did the first set use advice? For those who did not read the article very well, they would answer no. The real answer however is a yes Before the person would contemplate on his or her own the real answer to the problem, they must have utilized other pieces of advice not necessarily oratorical but that which they have garnered from online or printed materials.

Now, an advice on advice: it is really up to you whether to heed to advice or not. But never ever put the blame on the person advising because, unlike a command, the person is merely offering a suggestion that can out rightly denied or accepted. The consequences of your action will still be borne by you that is if you are mature enough to face it. Else, if you do not rationalize your actions yourself, it will be futile to ask for advice.

Lastly, for those who want to give advice or are in a habit and even profession of giving an advice, please bear in mind the responsibility of rendering an advice. It can be as fruitful as it is disastrous. Remember the kind of advice that you are rendering. There are certain nuances here and there that must be checked.

The best advice calls for responsibility both in the part of the sender and receiver. Failure in any of the parties may cause irreversible adverse effects. This is how serious advice is. This perhaps explain the reason why we see five hundred ninety four million hits on Google just by the word advice alone – and it seems to increase even more by the minute. Therefore, be advised on advice.
