Does Advising Others Enhance Your Own Life?

I agree with you. I think that are life is enhanced when we know that we have helped another person with their life. Whether it is in a small way or big. When we give advice it's good though to make sure that we are giving them helpful suggestions that are in their best interest. This way they are making the decision themselves. This way we aren't responsible for things that may turn out wrong or bad.They've to have the options and what's available to them but they need to make the decision.

It's always easier to give advice than deciding what to do with our own lives. I mean, when we give advice to someone else, we know what's right and wrong... but when we face these problems, we're either too comfortable or our views are distorted becuse of our emotions.

i don't know if i love to give advice, but people come ask for it from me often. i guess they must trust my opinion. better yet, what i think they like about me is that i am non judgement. i allow people to feel what they are feeling and not criticize. you seems to have the same qualities. lol. i too, find myself needing to take alot of my own advice sometimes.

Yes. I am not good a t giving advice but people always ask one from me. I always try my best in giving advice because it feels good when they look happy after a talk from me. I am a better listener, though.

It still depends... Sometimes, people who are good in advising to other problems are not good in handling their own problems. It's case to case basis...

Yupz, i think some advice givers have a complicated personality,hehe.. I mean they confuse where they get an advice, sometimes. Like me, i often give someone an advice but not with my willness. They come to me (usually they're girl) to tell their problem. In giving advice, i just want to be there when they need. Helping people is the most interesting act that i can do. Just... Sometimes i really complicated, where should i go when i need an advice. Most of them (people that i give advice) doubt about give me an advice. They said, 'i doubt we can give advice as good as your advice.'

During my school days classmates used get help from me to solve maths problems. I used to cull out those which I found difficult to solve myself but when I started to help my classmates I found that I was able to solve them.

That is a good thing that you want to help other. And it's also good that you get to be asked for advice. It just means that people trust you and your judgment. I, too, am happy when I could be of help to other people. Sometimes, they don't even know that it's good not only for them, but for me, too. I hope that you continue to be this person. One day soon, people will look back and will be thankful for your advice. Actually, sometimes, even just listening to them means a lot already.

You've hit the nail on the head! When you help someone in need, it feeds the soul with something that everyday occurrences cannot provide. We as humans are not an isolated species, so helping others strengthens our spirit. Although, some who give advice don't usually follow it, nor do they serve as great role models, some actually are wise because they look at the world with an open mind, and open heart and without filter. Those are the people that give great advice!

I love giving advises too, to my friends, family, and my girlfriend, but I really don't know if I also have a problem I can't advise myself, i mean i can't think of a good way or satisfying way to solve or best way to solve it. I sometimes go to my friends and ask them if they can give me advise. They always told me that I'm the one who's good in talking and yet I'm asking them to give me some advise.
