  1. Advice

    Advice is a form of relating personal or institutional opinions, belief systems, values, recommendations or guidance about certain situations relayed in some context to another person, group or party often offered as a guide to action and/or conduct. Put a little more simply, an advice message is a recommendation about what might be thought, said, or otherwise done to address a problem, make a decision, or manage a situation. Advice is believed to be theoretical, and is often considered taboo as well as helpful. The kinds of advice can range from systems of instructional and practical toward more esoteric and spiritual, and is often attributable toward problem solving, strategy seeking, and solution finding, either from a social standpoint or a personal one. Advice may pertain to relationships, lifestyle changes, legal choices, business goals, personal goals, career goals, education goals, religious beliefs, personal growth, motivation, inspiration and so on. Advice is not pertinent to any solid criteria, and may be given freely, or only given when asked upon. In some cultures advice is socially unacceptable to be released unless requested. In other cultures advice is given more openly. It may, especially if it is expert advice such as legal advice or methodological advice also be given only in exchange for payment.

Examples of advice in a Sentence

  1. Jane Sanders:

    I think every wife, or every husband, is the most important adviser of their spouse so I enjoy it very much, he doesn't always listen to me as you may know, i'm not a policy adviser. I just give him a lot of advice and he decides what to take and what not to.

  2. Richard Milhous Nixon:

    Unless a president can protect the privacy of the advice he gets, he cannot get the advice he needs.

  3. Barbara Feldon:

    I would say to take things more lightly, see life in a bigger context than just that a total vision of success or being good enough, there is no way to be good enough when you’re that age. You want some kind of perfection, and you’ll never get there. If it were the show, my advice would be to enjoy the people on the set. Don’t worry about whether you’re being accepted or not, whether your TV Q [score] is high or not high. Just be more lighthearted about life in general.

  4. Lisa Drayer:

  5. Stylish Candace Cameron-Bure:

    It’s so important to engage with your kids constantly. I talk with them nonstop from really kind of intense and deep conversations to the fluffy stuff and the day-to-day, but it’s important to let them know that you’re there for them no matter what. As a mom, I’m always going to have an opinion, but not in a judgmental way, if that makes sense. I’m going to give my best advice as a mother, or my husband as a father. But we want to be open enough that they don’t feel scared to be able to talk to us.
