Advice.
And bracelets.
Are very similar things.
Helping People.
It is nice to help people.
And yes.
OK.
You’re helpful.
But sometimes.
Just giving advice.
Is not enough.
There is more to do.
Close The Bracelet.
Imagine I have a gift for you.
Imagine that the gift is a bracelet.
Imagine that I hand it to you.
I watch you take it.
I watch you open it.
And I am glad that you love it.
But what I don’t do.
Is then just stand there.
And watch you struggle with what I have given you.
As you lay the bracelet on your left wrist.
With your right hand.
And watch you struggle to close the clasp of the bracelet around you.
I don’t just stand there and watch.
Because I know.
And you know.
That this is a task for two.
Helping people.
It’s nice to help people.
And yes.
OK.
You’re helpful.
But sometimes.
Just giving advice.
Is not enough.
There is more to do.
