Learning to take advice can make all the difference
Many people in our lives are willing to help us, says Don’t Worry, Make Money author Richard Carlson. The problem is, he says, that most people are completely unwilling to take another person’s advice—no matter how sincerely helpful and competent the advice giver is. Carlson says that most people suffer from stubbornness and don’t listen to others—and absolutely refuse to take advice.
What’s the big deal? Carlson says you are losing time—throwing away valuable shortcuts by refusing what other people are freely offering. The world is practically bursting with people bringing riches to your door—in the form of good advice. And what do most people do? They slam the door in the advice-giver’s face.
Carlson says you should do yourself a favor and show some humility. The next time someone gives you a piece of advice and your impulse is not to take it—stop and consider whether the advice is what you need or not. If the advice is good, make sure you tell the person who is giving it to you that you think it’s great. Make the other person happy in the process of taking the advice. You’ll be glad you did.
