THE POWER OF A SUGGESTION

The power of a suggestion depends upon the receiver not on the giver. – Anonymous

In our daily life, whenever we come across people who are facing simple problems for which we know the solution, as a human being, we tend to give suggestions to the concerned person though s/he don't ask us. The solution is powerful enough to eradicate the problem. But, does the listener of the suggestion is willing to obey and implement this powerful solution? Everybody has freedom of their own and nobody can force others to listen to what they say. But at the same time, when the suggestion provided is a time-tested one and the problem-facing person is not listening to it, what else anyone can do?

Everyone can lead their life in their own way. They are the masters of their own destiny. When people want freedom in whatever they do, they are bound to follow their inner instincts rather than depending upon outsider's suggestions and ideas. Although it is better to follow your own instincts, but sometimes, it is rather better to look at other people and understand their suggestions before discarding them. This way, though you won't follow what others seem to be dictating, from your point of view, but still you can share their knowledge. Sharing knowledge is a good thing. If not here, somewhere else you can use the same idea/suggestion for betterment of your life.

In summary, this blog advocates every reader to listen to the suggestions that others give about your problems and try to understand them in terms of timing and context before you decide whether you implement the same or discard them.
