Well, there are so many times when I tried to give relevant suggestions to people according to their situation. But today I want to highlight our times when my best friend Kamal asked for my opinion about her career. Eventually she is my childhood friend as we met in elementary school. In fact, we known to each other over 15 years. I still remember exactly. One Saturday she called me to visit cafe which was in the vicinity of my house for having coffee. At that time I went to cafe and I saw Kamal was very disappointed. I was very disappointed. Therefore, without wasting time, I requested to her to share her own problem. Then suddenly she told me and she had completed her G&M nursing and now she was very confused whether she should go further in order to pursue her study or how to join the job. Even she said what I did if I was at this place. To be honest, at that time I liked how much she trust on my opinion. Therefore, I described a situation like if I have a medical degree then definitely I join job or I will work in hospital as a staff nurse. Because it not only helps me to get practical experience but also I can afford my expenses as well as support to my family financially which further brings positive vibes for me. And also my family members will feel proud on me. At that time Kamal comprehended what I want to say. So nowadays she is working in a reputed hospital and she has a less relative job and earns some earning as well as she enrolled in well reputed medical university in order to pursue post basic. And I know why she can complete every goal whatever she wants because she has a passion towards it.

Suddenly, she told me that she had completed her G&M nursing and was very confused about whether she should pursue further studies or join the job market. She even asked what I would do if I were in her position. To be honest, at that time, I appreciated how much she trusted my opinion.
