The word advice in a global sense refers to the opinion or advice that is given, to carry out an action. These recommendations may or may not be accepted by whoever receives the advice, since the person is completely free to decide what is good for him or not. However, it should not be forgotten that most of the time those who give advice do so because they feel appreciation for the person and their only intention is to help.
Advice can come from parents (being the first to give it), grandparents, teachers, etc. In the same way, these can occur in different contexts, for example, in the workplace, a boss can give advice to his employee on how to perform certain work; in the field of love, a friend can offer advice to conquer a girl, in the medical context, a doctor can give advice to his patients in relation to their health, etc.
Many times people have to turn to others for advice on a particular issue, in order to make the best decision, based on different points of view.
The most valuable advice a person can receive comes from their parents. Parents, through their experiences, have enough capacity to guide their children, through their good advice. The advice given by parents and grandparents should never be overlooked since they, thanks to their experiences, have a valuable perception of reality and of everything that should or should not be done.
It is very common to hear "if I had done if my parents would not have been what I spend." Sometimes human beings do not listen to advice and after they make mistakes, they lament. However, it is important that this happens because everyone must learn from their mistakes, that allows them to acquire the wisdom they need, so as not to stumble over the same stone in the future.
On the other hand, when this word is capitalized, that is, "Council", it refers to an entity or body whose responsibility is to direct a certain public sector or also fulfill the role of an informative body of the government of a country. Some examples of organisms that are known as Councils are:
- Councils of ministers: these are extraordinary meetings that the presidents of states hold with all their ministers, to deal with matters of absolute national interest (economic, security, etc.)
- War council: this usually originates in the military sphere and consists of a court made up of superior military personnel who have the responsibility of pronouncing verdicts as to whether the activities, carried out by a subordinate, are considered a crime or not.
