Over time I
have learned how invaluable, valueless and (sometimes lethal) advice can be. By
now society is well aware the position and influence of “consultants.”
Consultants
are typically well aware and informed individuals or a team of individuals in
which one seeks out for professional opinion/advice. In my opinion we all
experience consultants, because they are merely the people speaking into our
lives on a daily basis. They speak opinions, wisdom, good advice, bad advice,
but nonetheless they speak from what I believe to be one of two sides of the
fence.
From one side you have those who
speak from experience, whether it’s actual physical encounters, or experience
from what they may have heard, seen, or even studied. They speak from what they have found to be
valuable information and insight.
The other side is mere intention;
they speak positive or negative based on their want, but always with intention.
Intentions ranging from their greed or need for something they may acquire from
you accepting their advice towards your final decision or move. It may refer to
money, a girlfriend/boyfriend, a living situation, or even a job situation, but
it is something that in the end will purposely benefit them, one way or
another.
I have drawn to this conclusion
based purely off experience. I have experienced both sides of the fence. I feel
now that I have enough experience to distinguish the two. I write this to
encourage and inform. Encourage, because I feel all individuals both young and
old come across people on a daily basis with one of these two motives, some
want to help you for the sake of helping, while others are unfortunately
looking out for their own wellbeing.
