Think about a time when someone gave you good advice that you did not take. For this discussion post, provide the situation and explain why the “good” advice was not taken.
Next, discuss whether or not it makes sense to ignore “good” advice. When is it appropriate to do so? When is it not? From a writing perspective, think about how you can separate someone’s good intentions from good advice in writing. Explain what this process looks like.
Finally, determine what you believe is the best strength you offer your classmates in a peer review? Justify your response.
I remember the time when I was a sophomore and my fellow
classmate advised me to get serious about life as life is what one
makes it. I used to be a person who used to roam about, spend time
with friends, hang around and stuff. I had gone to lots of trips
and was not doing well in academics. I, that time ignored his
advice for obvious reasons because moving out of my comfort zone
and doing something I was not ready for was just not my thing. I
was scared of missing out all the fun I was having and so I
continued with my so-called "happening life".
Honestly from my point of view, not taking good advice at the right
time may cause you harm and you might end up regretting the
decision you made. It is only good to ignore "good" advice when you
trust yourself and your instincts and believe that whatever you are
doing is right and you won't have to regret it later in your
life.
One can separate someone’s good intentions from good advice by
knowing that not everyone who has good intentions can provide good
advice, many times it may prove to be fatal so it is better to
distinguish the good and the bad.
The best strength that I offered my classmate was to get him his
confidence back which he lost somehow due to continuous failures
which were coming his way.
