Triumph over Technological Hurdles Who you gave the advice to I'm going to talk about a time I helped a friend of mine get in touch with me to help get rid of a computer virus that they had. I know a little about computers so she thought of me when she had this problem. What the advice was My friend is not very computer literate and got in touch to ask for some advice after her computer started moving very slowly. She said that when she opened new files, it took forever for them to open, and booting it up took an age. I told her that she needed to run her antivirus program to identify and remove the virus. Why you gave the advice She works from home and is head of HR so a virus on her computer could have had dire consequences. I told her it was paramount that she run the program right away to avoid any breaches of security. Explain how he/she followed your advice She said she followed the instructions of the antivirus program. Once it had removed the virus, she restarted the computer. It was still a bit slow so, just to make sure, I told her to contact the IT department and they sent someone to check her computer. They told her though that she had solved the problem herself so I was rather proud of myself for helping.

A couple of months ago, my cousin approached me, feeling overwhelmed by her preparation for university entrance exams. Knowing I had been through a similar phase, she sought my guidance. The advice I offered was quite straightforward: prioritize tasks and adopt time management techniques to keep stress at bay. I suggested this approach because, in my own experience, I realized that when tasks are clearly prioritized, it becomes much easier to focus on what truly matters. This can reduce stress considerably and make the journey toward a goal more manageable. Time management, on the other hand, helps in utilizing each day optimally, avoiding the pitfalls of procrastination. After our conversation, my cousin implemented my advice by creating a detailed study plan that included short breaks and realistic deadlines. She utilized tools like time blocks and to-do lists, and she also designated specific periods for relaxation and exercise to maintain a balanced lifestyle. The outcome was remarkable. She became more organized, and the stress levels that had been hindering her productivity reduced dramatically. Eventually, she aced her exams and attributed part of her success to the disciplined approach I had advised. This episode not only enhanced my credibility as someone who could offer sound advice but also filled me with immense satisfaction, knowing I had made a positive impact on someone's life.
