Let Your Advice . . . . Be Soft
“Advice is like the snow; the softer it falls, the longer it
dwells upon and the deeper it sinks into the mind.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge 1772 - 1834, English Poet,
Literary Critic and Philosopher
As I see it. . . . . . . .
Let your advice . . . . be soft
People don’t like to be lectured to . . . . or to be criticized. When you’re giving advice keep this in mind . . . . Appeal to their softer side . . . . and your advice will have greater impact. Let your advice . . . . Be soft.
People will resist hash advice . . . . and very likely tune the person out that’s offering that advice. When you want your words to have meaning . . . . let your advice be soft.
When you’re offering advice let what your saying be of importance. Also what becomes critical in offering advice . . . . is how you say what you have to say.
People will listen to advice when they feel it’s sincere . . . . and they feel that the person offering the advice has their best interest at heart. People will accept being helped . . . . but they won’t accept being pushed.
When you’re offering advice know the person that you’re offering the advice to . . . . and the purpose of the advice.
Offer your advice as a way for the person to get to what they’re trying to accomplish . . . . not for personal satisfaction.
Don’t lecture or criticize let your advice . . . . be soft . . . . let the other person be comfortable in accepting it.
