Motivational Power Quote
Don’t Lecture or Criticize Let Your
Advice Be Soft
“Advice
is like the snow; the softer it fall, 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. . . . . . . .
Don’t lecture or criticize 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 and 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 offering the advice. If you want your
words to have meaning . . . . let your advice be soft.
When you’re giving advice let what your
saying be of importance. Also what
becomes critical in giving advice . . . . is how you say it 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 help . . . . 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 . . . . and let the other person be comfortable in accepting it.
