This is for one of my anonymous facebook buddies, who requested me to write. The person has been bearing the brunt of unsolicited advice and uncalled-for-comments, from the people around her. This has grown so large, that the confidence levels and self-image are at threat. I wish this brings some happiness to the person!
Timely advice is welcome. But unsolicited advice is like those software that automatically keep updating whenever new updates are available and bombard us with related messages and pop-ups. At least we have the option of 'Ask me before you update' in the latter case. But, in the former, it is difficult to choose that too, as the advice-givers start off with, 'if u ask me......'!! No! No! Not again!! The best option, if at all, that suits such cases is, 'Never ask me, I'll get back to you whenever I need one'!! This thought struck me while reading some friend's update about Adobe's updates!!
(Disclaimer: Directed towards none and no harm intended!! Lots of respect for all my friends and elders).
