Quotes to ponder:
"Make sure the person you’re trying to help is actually looking for help, lest you come across as a condescending asshole."
"If you don’t have experience but you do feel like you have an important or useful observation to make, then you should always qualify it by saying: 'I’ve never had this problem before, but it seems to me.'"
"Advice is a gift. And as a gift, it is given unconditionally, with nothing expected in return."
