ADVICE

Sooo I have this stupid essay that I have to finish up on the topic ADVICE....

I know right?! What a boring topic BUT I have to do it anyways *no way out* Boohoo


ADVICE


Advice (noun) is a suggestion to a person about what he or she should do. It is basically to seek help. To give advice to anyone almost anything and everything. It could also mean to mentor one by giving guidance regarding social problems for example. Advice is a big word to use as there are many ways to give advice in general. The thing about advice is, it is so much easier to give than receive.

There are the advantages and disadvantages of giving and receiving advice. The advantages of giving advices are that you can make an impact to one's life by just by making a few statements if given the right way. It could change one's perspective in a situation but then again, listening to a one-sided view, one gets to decides to make the choice which is a disadvantage as they could be making the wrong choice by themselves. What I’m trying to say is that one has the power to follow the advice given.

We are given advice from our beloved family, friends, teachers, our idols, strangers and even songs. It is wonderful how one can uphold an advice given from a very young age and still uphold it till an adult.

I read a blog on how this girl upholds his father's words which is "Well, if you give up now, it will give up on you" which simply means never give up.  She holds on to the sentence till now. Simple words like that can be a motivation and inspiration to one self.

I however have live my life with full of advices too. One that I can’t seem to forget is “The price of practise is always cheaper than the feeling of regret”. Let’s just say that a little bird, Robin told me that.

Needless to say, advice need not just be about life in general but it can also be about for example, fashion. An advice I remembered given by the all so famous fashion designer , Coco Chanel, “ Fashion fades, only style remains the same”. My interpretation of that quote is that it meant, fashion changes through different years, decades or eras but one thing that does not change is people and their style. I have a strong believe in this quote therefore I uphold her advice with me as long as I live even though it's about fashion.
