On Giving Advice
Here's a nice little piece from Joho the Blog. Be sure to click through on the Marginal Revolution link. More good stuff there.
One of the most important things we do in life is to provide advice. What classes and professors to take. How to think about a career. These are two examples of topics I discuss with students on a regular basis. I also take my classroom students through a small exercise on constructive criticism, one of the most important things (along with the assessment of personnel) that anyone does.
We never do any of this as well as we ought or can. It's a constant learning process. It is in this learning that Joho the Blog and Marginal Revolution can be helpful.
