I know many just leave the scene when someone starts advising. How about you? Do you listen to advices? How many advices do you hear every day (whether you follow or not). lets see what the responses are like?

Hi! Well yes, I would normally listen to advices if I asked for it. But for unsolicited advices, nope. I find it rude and an intrusion of privacy. I feel the person giving me unsolicited advices thinks that I can't handle things myself. Advices in general are just guidelines. It can be followed or not. It depends on the person who asked for an advice. Ciao!

The "Learning Process" never ends!!!!!! You learn from everything in your life all the time. You learn from your teachers, parents, religions, elders, friends, siblings, children, seniors, bosses, co-workers, peers, associates, people you don't know, TV, radio, movies, books, newspapers, pets, animals, nature, the environment, etc. .... the list goes on and on. Every aspect of learning also has some kind of advise provided with them if you are able to recognize the reading in between the lines! Its up to you to "listen" instead of just hearing - or "observe" instead of just seeing. Advise - if positive - is beautiful - and inetnded for good reasons. I believe that its great to hear someone trying to advise you positively because that someone has some concerns for you - and when I respond to those advisors positively, it makes them feel great too. This world would be such a great place if everyone has some great advise to impart to others and others had the patience and gratitude in receiving such good advise.

I dun listen to advises.. hha ^_^ though i know i'm doing the wrong things or doing things in the wrong way, i will always wanna stick to it thru out, till i finished it.. It's not that i'm stubborn, but i just wanna experience doing something different, and explore other ways ^_^ I wanna learn from mistakes, and dun wanan be dependant on frenz or family forever.. Because most of the time, we are often alone to think and fend for ourselves, plus, we are the ones who doing the things, so it's always better to do things our way because they are not us, and they wont know how we feel.. hehe ^_^

yes, i do listen to advices coming from my friends. i listen to them just for me to have a choice when i need to make a decision. but most of the time, i often make my own decision. their advices are just a sort of supplements for me. they can help me a lot by giving me advices.

Yes I do.. I might get a new diimension of the problem that I am facing or the task I am taking up. And people who care for me will not do bad things for us. Will listen to them patiently atleast because they're spending their time for us. Will oblige for that and listen and take up the crucks and good things from it. If I am not satisfied will try to explain my stand to them. But ofcourse there are some people who just advice to confuse us or just to show that they know things better than everyone. I hate such hypocrites and shall never pay heed to them Cheers

except my crazy friends who have some crazy logic behind their advice i listen to everybody's advice but that doesnt mean i act accordingly. i act to the advice only if i feel like that paritcular advice is really going to make difference. and i dont listen advices everyday. maybe once in a week or month. happylotting.

If I listen or not is depending on the person,who's giving advise. there are too many people around,who just give advice to any item,because they like to hear themselves talking .Usually I don't hear many advices a day.Maybe it's because I'm 45 and spent my life travelling and studying.So the people come to me and want advice.But I like to hear other thoughts,i.e. of younger people,who are closer to the items of the youth than I am
