Many people call me too mature
for my age. They say that I am a serious kind of guy, I need to get little
loose (not in character :P) in my life and let life take its own course rather
than me trying my hard to control it. One strength which a lot of my friends
appreciate a lot is that I am a good listener and apparently give good advice
and motivate people to excel in their lives. Above all, they know that I am not
going to tell about our discussion to anyone – they know I will never let down
on this. J
Well, I don’t know how much
truth is in all this but since it’s a large number of people who say this so am
more than happy to believe in this except for that serious and mature kind of
guy. :D
How I give advice? Its very
simple. I just put myself in the other person’s shoes and start to think of
what I would have done in that situation – what are the problems I will face in
that situation, what will be the pros and cons of the solution I am suggesting.
The one thing which I take care is that I don’t end up suggesting a solution or
path that should be taken (specially in case of romantic issues :D). I just
give all the possible paths and let the other person decide the final path.
There are very few people to
whom I go for a advice. Frankly most of the times I end up discussing things
with myself only. I believe its not because of I don’t have people around me
with whom I feel I can discuss, its just may be my introvert nature when it
comes to my personal life. I think my experience in past has made me very
cautious to discuss about my life with other people except for very few close
friends and obviously family.
P.S. I think the credit for my listening quality deserves
to go to the women in my life (starting from my two elder sisters to my female
friends, they have never allowed me to speak much till now L )
