Advices

About a couple of weeks ago, I had a very random chat with one of my colleagues in the office. We chatted about coffee, work life, experience, and many more. Then I was quite surprise with her reply when I was giving her some advice, "Yes. I definitely agree. You know what, I think all the advice you are giving to me will be tested back to you".

I was stunned and speechless. I meant I didn't expect that kind of reply for I was just giving her an advice to make her feel better. I don't know why her words struck me. When she asked me have I ever experienced "an advice I give to someone being tested back to me", my answer is

"I don't pay attention to those stuffs. Because when I confronted some obstacles, I will usually think of a way to clear it first. I don't think of the advice I gave to people."

When I think back, it's true that I often think like that and eventually I will learn some lesson from those obstacles and without realizing it, it will become an advice that I will share to people that really needed it.

But then I also know indirectly I am actually advising myself. I am reminding myself. Advices are one of the way to keep you on the path you are suppose to be.
