Throughout life we often encounter situations where we either give advice to others or seek advice from them. Here I would like to share one such instance where I seek valuable advice from someone. The person who gave me positive advice was my father’s best friend’s son. I was just preparing for my exams and I was so perplexed after completing my graduation what I’ll do in the future because I was not just planning to do a job. I was in a mode of doing my master’s but I wasn’t sure at that time should I do it from my own country or should I move abroad. So the guy I met him on the occasion of my father’s birthday and he’s like 5 years younger than me having like more experience in his field. He’s also an engineer so he explained me the procedures how to do each and everything whenever you are perplexed about anything. He told me each and everything in such a detailed way that I was so amazed how can be someone so perfect. So after taking all the advice from him he suggested me the good universities in abroad what would be the benefit if you are doing some new master’s in the abroad. I just took all the suggestions from him and just noted down and I was like I will surely follow these suggestions so that I can come out from my confusion. So next day when I took I was just getting it and I was like oh I had some more confusion now then I just called him and talked with him and he just gave me another suggestion about my studies, my field and everything and he was like if you are more perplexed you can just call me whenever you want I am just ready to help you out there. After taking again the suggestion from him I was like wow he’s such a nice guy he’s always ready to give advice to anyone. I was very elated like I find someone who can help me in my tough time because at that time I had no clue what to do and I was just getting tense because each and every day the time was just passing on and I was not able to do anything. After that after completing my graduation I just planned to come over here and he was the first person who helped me a lot just because of his advice I am so happy that I just came here. So he taught me the importance of staying positive and taking breaks.

Throughout life, we often encounter situations where we either give advice to others or seek advice from them. Here, I would like to share one such instance where I sought valuable advice from someone. The person who gave me positive advice was my father's best friend's son. I was preparing for my exams and was perplexed after completing my graduation about what I would do in the future because I was not just planning to get a job. I was considering doing my master's, but I wasn't sure at that time whether I should do it in my own country or move abroad. I met him on the occasion of my father's birthday, and he is about five years younger than me but has more experience in his field. He is also an engineer, so he explained to me the procedures for everything whenever I was perplexed about anything. He told me everything in such detail that I was amazed at how someone could be so knowledgeable. After taking all the advice from him, he suggested good universities abroad and explained the benefits of pursuing a master's degree there. I noted down all his suggestions and decided I would surely follow them to resolve my confusion. The next day, as I was reflecting on it, I realized I had more questions, so I called him to talk. He gave me another suggestion about my studies, my field, and everything. He said if I was still perplexed, I could call him whenever I wanted, and he was ready to help me out. After receiving his advice again, I thought, wow, he's such a nice guy; he's always ready to give advice to anyone. I was very elated to find someone who could help me in my tough time because, at that moment, I had no clue what to do, and I was getting tense as each day passed, and I was not able to make any progress. After that, upon completing my graduation, I planned to come here, and he was the first person who helped me a lot. Just because of his advice, I am so happy that I came here. He taught me the importance of staying positive and taking breaks.
