Why should I be able
to advise people?!

There are thousands of people out there who claim to be able to advise others. Why should I join them?

From my point of view: Because I have already shaped so many things in life - but the thing that makes me happiest is when a person is better off after our conversation than before and the long sought-after key has getting closer.

From your perspective: I've spent my whole life talking to others, empathizing with them (whether I wanted or not), and helping them see their valuable qualities and make something of them. I've never done anything else. And I hope to continue to do good with it.

By the way, I don't have any formal qualifications, otherwise there would be a nice list at this point.
