Hey there fellow mylotters! I'm here to ask each and every one of you this simple question. Have you ever given an advice to your friend, family, or whoever and whatever relationship you have that made you never forget that single advice? As for me, I can't really remember an advice I gave that is truly memorable. Like something which actually saved someone's life or made a person overcome his or her hardships. Something like that. So MyLotters! Kindly share.

I don't know too. People don't tell me if my advice helped them alot. By the way, that should be forgotten, forgetten is not aword.

I too can't remember most of the advises I give to my friends. Basically because I have already given advises to many friend and because they have so many problems which should be given different advises. But I know that those advises helped them somehow, well I guess that what I hear from most friends of mine.

I don't really get to remember any advice that I had given to anyone who had asked or I simply gave without being asked. Those that really helped are the ones that are still remembered by those whom I inadvertently gave advice to. With all those things that we get to say, even the encouraging and the discouraging, we often don't keep them in mind. Those that get affected by them usually are the ones who remember. (^_^")

hmm i dont really know if it actually saved someones life but i did help a friend once to overcome her friendship, most of the times , just talking to the person helps them to overcome whatever they are going through by diverting their thoughts to other things which are not hurting to them

yes. Six or seven years back I suggest a friend to join HCL call center for a job that was offered to me. He joined. He got good contacts, confidence and he is doing now very well in teaching. Of course credit goes to his ability to make something out of anything.

There is day that i will never forget when a friend come to me with this problem he was having and he was trying to stop a certain behavior but it wasn't that simple.so he came to me and said ''am loosing someone i truly love because she knows what i have been doing outside''after sharing with me the whole story i realized he wasn't going to loose just her but also i was going to loose him too.Because he had been careless exposing himself and his girlfriend to some diseases.I felt some much pain i gave him some advice and later asked him to pick her up and visit the doctor for check ups.............the guy has changed at times i don't believe its the same person

My daughter told me how my advise had helped her. When she was young, I told her she could do anything she wanted to as long as she wanted to do it enough. She said that was the best thing I could ever have told her.

I often get advice from people around me. And very much the advice I received, so I forgot. One advice that makes me memorable, but never could obey. That is, the advice from my mother. My mother advised me, so I relented, and do not need to defend myself, though I am right. Just say what exactly once, if not believe, no need to defend themselves. The truth will emerge by itself, although it is too late.

Besides my family members that is say my husband and my daughter and son-in-law, if anyone seeks my advice, I always try to help him or her but never sure whether it is followed or not. Sometimes, someone thanks me for the advice and I come to know that it was followed by him.

Good Morning My Friend! I gave two advises to my sister and my girlfriends that are memorable. They always remember them. The first one is that you shouldn't cry for a guy because when they leave they always come back, always. Soon or later but they come back. Time pass and they always tell me: "Hey! You had reason, he came back." Sometimes is too late but they always do. The second advise is that you are the only one to change your life. When I see one of my friends sad or depressed because of something happening in their life, I always tell them this and they realize its true. No matter what bothers you, the only person able to change the way you feel is you. Make some changes in your life, take out all the things you are not happy with and you will see the difference. They always thank me for the advise and they look happier right after. Knowing there is an exit for their problems, looking everything from a whole new perspective. I feel happy when I can help somebody with one of these advises. I apply them in my own life so is proved, they work.

my style of giving advice is by condemning and using sarcasm. it works most of the time. i advice my sister about her study cause her results are getting worse and worse every time. using sarcasm, i make her feel very very bad and makes her hate me very much and the good thing is she start to give more focus on study and improved. she hates me at that time but thanks me now.
