Art of Counselling
First things first, Don't counsel unless your asked to.
Preaching is the mode of operandi for a person who thinks the situation isn't that complex to handle. Whatever we do is what we do ;-) and its not a template which will fit every other person. I don't know if its just me but I don't wanna miss any opportunity where I get to counsel someone, I always have a say (not always, but yeah! most of the times). In this rate, I would be a freaking "do this, do that", "that's right, that's wrong" machine ;-) (but, thank god! I got rescued).
Got a dose of my own medicine ;-)
My o my!, Its good that I realized early in time. Counselling should be given only upon requests or if its the right thing to do (on a personal level). The counselling guy bumped into me and started pouring his understanding of the situation and I totally totally totally got the point that he is a wise ass ;-), I must say, the things he said was really helpful, but the fact remains that I dint ask for it coz I know I can deal with whatever situation I was in.
From now, whenever I have an urge to counsel someone, I internalize "Shut up, its not required". But, I also secretly internalize "Please! why do you just ask for help" ;-D.
