There are some people who know what is going on. They understand all sides of a situation and they can formulate the best response. When they give advice, you can listen, and take it.
There are others who haven’t a clue how other people see or hear them, don’t know there are other sides in a situation. Whatever they advise, do the opposite.
When a person goes into politics, unless they maintain real links to those they represent, (and not through their ‘representatives’ ) they are likely to misunderstand how their electors view an event.
When a person is surrounded by ‘advisers’ and ‘consultants’ who know nothing, who are more interested in posturing and pouting, they will receive the wrong information and act on it to their detriment.
Once has to stay ‘on the ground’ to know how average people, not their supporters and toadies, experience life.
There are many things in every day life which bother people. Although the things that bother them might seem trivial, to the speaker they are not. To the Speaker they are important.
In daily life, advice rains each day. Everyone has an opinion, everyone seems to know what to do, what not to do, what to say. But one has to learn to ‘take it from whom it comes.’
A person might ask a lawyer about an issue and obtain particular advise. Some guys sitting on the corner might advise otherwise. Depending on how stupid the person is, he might listen to the guys on the corner.
A woman might be having marital trouble. The worst person to ask is someone who has either never been married or has been divorced more than once. The best person to ask is someone who has a long term relationship and knows how to pilot through the most treacherous area.
You can listen to advice from anyone, but you don’t have to take it.

No disrespect to my late mother but … she always gave me good advice. However, she also did not practice what she preached. Consequently, not only did I receive the benefits of being taught or guided by her to avoid many pitfalls in my life; but I also got to see what happened when she didn't follow her own advice. Then I knew for sure that her words of wisdom were the right path for me to take.
The point is that some people learn from their own mistakes, some from the mistakes of others, and some never learn. It always seems strange to me that when one follows advice and falls on their face, they should instantly put an 'X' to that person's name, not return again and again.
