Never give free advice. No one needs it. If they want it they will pay for it, monetarily or in any other form that pinches them. This is what I have realised. Free advice goes down freely. A lot of times I have given free advice based on my experiences, analysis, and or foresight, but all I get in return is some excuse for not implementing it. Like a friend of mine keeps telling me, advice is of no use, unless that person experiences it for himself.

So I have decided that no advice will be given unless I have a surety feeling that it’s going to get implemented. I know I am sounding pompous in a ways or selfish to an extent, but that is how the world is. And I plan to do nothing different atleast in this aspect. Actually there is another thought as well, to create circumstances so that your advice (read thoughts) get implemented. That according to me is a better approach. It is self satisfying as well, because it gives you the sense of achievement. Maybe that’s the way to go.
