It can be well-known that somebody was in trouble when they try to suggest not to do something. This will be clearer when they talk something relevant to what we might have earlier suggested them not to do.

He came up to me and said,

“Brother, just make sure that you stay to yourselves in the tenure you would spend in this office. This office is plagued with politics.”

His expressions carried more burden and stronger message than otherwise a suggestion would do. But I also wondered if he stuck to what he said to me. Of course, there are always the ifs and buts that keep us unique and away from rules – one may include suggestions too.

Obviously, as expected, he was in trouble and explained me the situation, which I heard like a story. It was good, since the discussion was at least resulting in strengthening our bond as friends. And to end the discussion, I asked(perhaps suggested) him not to disclose his personal details to anybody – it was not needed in a professionally run organization – though I enjoyed the taste of intruding somebody’s privacy by their will.

Just then, she walked into our room, and we said together to her,

“Do you know something. One must learn not to reveal ones personals to anybody. It is a harmful habit.”

World has the largest know-what and know-how. It doesn’t seek suggestions.
