It is curious how when someone gives us an advice, especially if it implies that we have to change somehow, we tend to fight it. We either find moderate reasons why not to, or explain how it does not apply to us.
On the other hand, if we get the same advice from a written text book, magazine, website, audio cd, or even a video clip, we do not tend to fight back. It would be rather funny someone giving explanations back to a textbook. We don’t have to. Our pride has not been touch. Nobody knows we are reading an advice and changing because of it.
So I guess it is not really the source of the advice that bothers us, but the fragile pride we may have, and the need to defend it.
