Getting good advice is always a step in the right direction in solving personal problems. The book of Proverbs teaches that in the counsel of many there is widsom. Wise people know they cannot solve every problem by themselves. Wisdom however knows that you must seek people who have a proven character of truth. Truthfulness, honesty and integrity are quailties essential for good advice. Moses one time was over burdened with the problems of the people and Jethro his father in law saw this and counseled him to get help. Moses saw this as sound advice and put a plan into action to accomplish this.
Listening is also a great skill to have because 80% of good communication is being able to listen to others and evaulate what the real situation is. Listening first allows you to hear the real story and know what the person you are talking to is really saying. Asking the right questions at the right time is also important. These help with knowing what to say and how to say it. Counsel and listening are two skills that can save you a lot of time and trouble.
