Wow Sanjib !!! Nice one and you are absolutely right…
I love your first thought of the morning…:)
very true ,thanx for sharing Sanjib
Well said Sanjeeb … Heart alwyz overrule d mind whn cms to wisdom ….
very true sanjib……………but most of the times we let our heart rule the head
So agree! Advice is wisdom…give only to the thirsty! Unsolicited advice is like gargle water…it’s only gonna be spit out! Such a person is one who is not ready to shed his/her inertia and is not willing to bring change in his/her life. Wisdom has both the mind and the heart in it–discretion/logic as well as compassion together. Only the genuine seeker soaks it up and only such a one can be benefited by it.
wow Alpana very well explained
True. “Advice is like snow – the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper in sinks into the mind~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Unsolicited advice will always backfire…
thx Anjali! All Guruji’s wisdom really…
Similar to a teaching in Christianity and followed by Dr. Usui in Reiki: Never throw pearls before a swine…
@Parag: In a lighter vein, and just for fun–ur quote here reminded me of something similar–”Alimony is like buying hay for a dead horse!”
That’s a good one too Parag!
@ thanks Alpana and everyone for seconding it…
@Prashanti: That’s a nice one… lol
Profound wisdom thank you God bless you!! Take care
True, Never ever waste your words of advice to those who don’t require that, because later they might just laugh at you. The person who sincerely requires the advice will certainly have respect for it.
this is something hardly any of us follow.. we do give free advice coz that is the easiest thing to do but do we actually think from the heart..?????????..!!
well said Sanjib……but this habit of giving free unwanted advice is so deeply embedded in most ppl that u keep getting it……gud day.
Point noted.
:-)
Remember that althougth they mean well.. others dont always see things from your perspective…so one who gives us adivice not necesarily can think from our perspective and to whom we give dont necesarily we can think from their perspective so sometime if we give advice and other dont agree to it sitll we should not fee that they have ignored our advice ..ou perspective of thinking wil match with their and then only we can convince someone…and then only our advice will be valuable to them to act..
Very true Sanjib ji.Nobody likes 2 receive advices..coz there r too many free fake advicers everywhere. No matter how great one speaks he will b judged only n only by his actions. Actions speak louder than words.Only a great actor can b a great advicer. And great actors only act. They speak n advice through their own actions. By practically following that advice in their own lives..Then only words can come from d depths of heart..n only then those true words become so powerful 2 penetrate n touch other’s heart.It’s not necessary 4 a true actor weather he speaks or not..like in movies..dubbing can b done. What matters is his actions..his speaking attracting advicing deeds..
only buisness should be treated with mind for else use your heart
When giving advice to others always use your head and speak from the heart , as the person asking for advice needs that advice to be balanced . Thank you , Sanjib x
I don’t comment very often Sanj but I should as every time it’s an awesome statement!!! This one is soo tee and you really live it!! Hopefully see you soon
waow,,, again an amzing quote….
wonderful sanjib
So true! Not only Guidance Sanjib, in fact help too because in today’s materialistic world with whole lot of self centred people, our genuine offer of help is often mistaken and mostly misused only to leave us hurt.!!!!!!!!!
wise words indeed
very truly said Sanjib ji..!!!
This is so true. Just yesterday, I have ended up giving feedback / suggestions all in good spirit when not asked and have received grudges and annoyance.
