“What have you "given" someone in the form of advice
or help recently, or what have you received that was helpful?”
I like to offer advice when it is asked. Mostly
I give advice to teachers who have a difficult teaching situation or to parents
who want to know what they can do to help their child be more successful. Most
of the advice I give concerns education because of my many years of experience.
I also find it a challenge to try to find possible keys to a student’s success
and each student’s situation is like a new puzzle. I find it very gratifying if
I can help the student (and parents) find success.
I like to write posts about my recent travel
and add places and costs if at all possible. I hope this gives other travelers
some idea of what we did in certain places and how much we spent. I try to put
the cost of cab fare or entrance fees also. By doing this, I also have a record
of our travels in case we return to these places again. So, I guess there are times I am asking for my
own help.
When I am knitting, I might come across
something that I don’t understand or can’t figure it out. I joined a weekly knitting group and there are
more experienced knitters there that can help me. I also joined Ravelry, which
is an online fiber group, and there is always someone there willing to answer
my questions.
I am not the most experienced cook either so I
am usually seeking advice when I try a new recipe. Sometimes the recipes have a
new term or an ingredient that I don’t have and I’m usually asking friends for
help.
I think this would be a great thing to share
with students. They need to know that I’m willing to ask for advice as well as
give it. No one in this world knows everything and there are others who have
different strengths than I do. In fact, I have even asked students for help in
thinking of solutions to a problem that I may have.
When have you given advice or asked for help?
Please share.
