Dear All -- I know this isn't directly BF related, but it seemed so relevant
to so many of our discussions. It comes from a mailing I get called "daily
lift," published by a Jewish organization (reference at the bottom of the
post for those who are interested). They encourage forwarding of these
messages, so I'm not breaking any rules by sending this along. Hope you like
it.

DAILY LIFT #296
TOPIC: ADVICE
Giving positive advice to people who are open to hearing it, is one
of the greatest acts of kindness you can do.
Be careful not to give advice when it is unwanted, even if you are
well-meaning. A prerequisite for giving advice is to have the
humility not to give advice unless you are certain it will have a
positive outcome.
How you give advice is often a key factor in whether or not it will
be appreciated. Giving positive advice takes great skill.
(See Rabbi Pliskin's Gateway to Self Knowledge, pp.104-6)
