Tunnel Vision

Sometimes the tunnel is so long and winding, you cannot tell if there is light at the end of the tunnel or if you will emerge in total darkness - lost - not knowing where to go or what to do.

What one can hope for, however, is that there are tiny specks of light along the way to show you that you are on the right path - that you aren't lost yet. Just a little bit of reassurance.

Let not your Light be Darkness

Being asked for advice brings with it an onerous sense of responsibility. A person trusts you enough to trust your judgment and makes a decision partly based on your thoughts, your insight, your way of thinking. If they do follow your advice and make certain decisions, does it follow that you are accountable for your words. With your limited experience and probably one sided view of the situation it is very likely that your advice is not very high quality.

Its not a big deal when the advice relates to 'What book should I read?' or 'What camera should I buy?' but sometimes it is. A very big deal indeed.
