Journal # 11: Advice


While some people are very cautious about seeking or giving other people advice, I like to listen and may be can give advice if my friends need them. I thinks that a good advice can help people solve many problems that they can do by theirselves. However, a bad advice also make some people feel terrible, it may be lead a bad result. In addition, advice can change our life, so we have to consider carefully each word in advice.I also gave some advices to my friends, and I did not know whether or not it is effecient. I only known that my friends needed them, and they felt more comfortable when they had a person to share anything.

One time, after my best friend graduated from university, she wanted to go out her home city to work for a foreign company. She really liked to work for a challenge environment and meet some new things. However, everyone who loved her such as her family, her boyfriend did not want to permit her to do it. They were scared that she will have difficult things in new environment. They worried about her life, her accommodation, her job, her new friends, and they think about anything that can be terrible to go with her. This made her confuse about her decision and she seeked an advice from me. What a difficult advice.

Her parents said me that I should advise her to stay in her home city, but I know my friend's characteristic. She really like to go to HCM city to work, and I think that she was young, so she can face and overcome difficult things. Therefore, I said to her that: " You can try it". The result that now my friend works for a bank in HCM city.

In first period of time, she had many difficulties. For example, she did not find a job and a shelter. She felt very terrible and she wanted to come back home. At time, I regreted about my advice, perhaps I also made her parents to be disappointed. Therefore I try to help my friend as I can. Now everything is ok, and she has a good life in HCM. She is very happy because she did what she like. I felt better when meet her family and her lover. I think that I will not give any advice to another. Hichic.
