It’s one thing to give them out to someone; to think critically before doing so with a selfless goal in mind.
It’s another to be given advice, suggestions or orders from someone. Most of what people recommend, suggest or oder 
you to do is what they would have liked to do themselves. In essence, they are attempting to live and learn from the experience through you. It’s a great way to learn, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not a great way for you to learn.
So many of us have a curious tendency when it comes to decision-making, especially when its other people making the decisions. We’re more risky when giving advice to someone because we’re not the ones who will follow through with it, receiving consequences and all.
I’ve even given advice that I would never do for the single reason of wanting to know how it would have turned out. (Full disclosure: We were both interested in what would happen if he took my advice.)
Quit plainly, we’re reckless when it comes to advice, suggestions, and orders.
Which is why I’m telling you of a solution to it. Ask.
Stay Positive & Ask, Ask, Ask
