why is it that it is so easy to give advices but it is so hard to do it when you are in the same situation? just like now, my friend has just broke up with his girlfriend and he was asking for my advice. as i was telling him what i think he should do. i came to realize that "hey i have been in this situation before". but i have done the opposite of what i am saying to him, right now...do we really have to make mistakes before we can learn?

It is always easier to give people advice instead of taking it for ourselves. That is because we find it easy to view other people's problems and not our own. It isn't a good trait but it seems to be how things are a lot of the times. Most of the time, we don't mean to or we don't notice it until it is brought to our attention later on. Oftentimes, we learn from the mistakes we have made. As long as we learn from them, then it isn't really a bad thing.

Yes you're right! it's so easy to give advices but so hard to do the thing. I have experienced the same thing, when i was in second year of high school. My friend asked for my advice because of her conflict with her mother, and as a friend i gave what she asked for. As years passed by i also encountered the same problems with my mom. And now, whaen things go wrong i just see to it that i learned something from my mistakes.. "LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES!!" go0d day! :-) p0tchie24 (-:
