Yes, I think people should prepare before giving advice. If you take some time to think, your advice will be more accurate and helpful. It also shows that you care about the person and their problem. If you just say the first thing that comes to your mind, you might give wrong or even harmful advice. So, preparing a bit can make your advice better and more useful.

No, I don’t think people always need to prepare before giving advice. Sometimes, advice is needed right away, and there’s no time to think too much. Also, people often just want to hear your personal experience or get some quick support. If you prepare too much, your advice might sound fake or too formal. In many cases, just being there and saying something from the heart is enough.
