Does it sound familiar? someone told you his/ her situation and then you told him/ her what to do. And (s)he just ignore your advice and just continue doing whatever they were doing. And you feel like screaming "hey, don't you know that it's not good for you? you are completely wrong, I know what's best for you"
-sigh-..... but I think that's what happen often times. Even when you are giving solicited advice, people often just continue doing what they think to be right. Only when you are thought to be really credible, or when you have power over the person you give your advice to (parents-children, boss-staff, doctor-patient, etc.) then you can force them to accept your opinion/ your way.
-sigh-.... of course YOU think that YOUR opinion/ solution is the best, because it is resulted from your way of thinking and your experiences throughout your life... but that goes for the other person too....
-sigh-.... at times like that I just gave up.... and let them have their own way... and just try to forget.... It's difficult to do that when I see that they are really heading to the wrong direction or that they endanger their own life.... but what else can I do?
