There are people who are good at giving advice but when you look at their own life,he or she got a more worst life.I have a friend like that who is really good to advice me and our common friends.When, she speaks like that she has a perfect and complete life but someone told me that she has a problem about her husband and when I ask about it. She always says forget it maybe she wants me to think that she has a good family but it is really not.Sometimes, I am also good in giving advice to a person who have a problem but when it comes to myself, I think I can't.How about you guys?

I think that the people who give the best advice are suffering from their own problems so much and cannot deal with them so they would rather jump into everyone elses' problems so that they can forget their own. IT is easier to solve other people's problems than it is to concentrate on their own.

I think that your common friend impart her advice through personal experience. She has the wisdom of sharing and trying to help other people.

Maybe they don't apply their advice because the situation is not beyond their control.If they can, why not, but maybe it will get some bad results that's why they don't even attempt to apply them. For others,they can try to apply those pieces of advice if there's less to risk.Even if they can't apply it,they still give this advice because they want to help other people.We may find it ironic but we don't know what they're undergoing.Let's just pray for them that they could get over with their problems soon.

i remember my friend advice me of not getting involve with a girl that i dont like to be my lifetime partner which was a good advice that he contradicted, then i ask him why he didn't apply the good advice he gave me with his own life, and he said to me "see what happened to my life is miserable now my advice to you is do not do what i did" he still have the nerve of giving advice of something that he wont apply to himself, but for he is only good at giving advice.

To be honest, some of the advices that I give are those that I cannot apply to myself. I simply know what to do on those cases because I can't do it myself. I know what the solution is, yet I can't apply it maybe because I don't want to do it or some sort of fear maybe. You observe those who gives advice, oftentimes, those who has a lot to say on what to do are those who doesn't apply what they're saying to their life. Real talk, some of my advices are by experience and some are just by theory.
