What is the best advice ever given?
When you know better, do better.
Is it OK to start a sentence with the word ” hoping “?
You are hoping they can help but at such a distance that you are not pleading to them. That would be unprofessional to say nothing of embarrassing to them. The first sentence is OK.
What does ” I hope you can help me ” mean?
Asking if they can help in this matter is correct in that it describes at a polite distance their capacity and perhaps willingness to help. You are hoping they can help but at such a distance that you are not pleading to them.
What’s the proper phrasing for the word ” help “?
A proper phrasing could be “Please let me know if you can help in this matter.” Here the term “this” is keeping the matter at a distance, just as “matter” does, which is what you are seeking for a professional tone.
Which is better kindly advise or Please Advise?
Others will have a more accurate etymology of these terms but it is not right. The term “Kindly advise” also sounds peculiar in a bad way. Better would be “Please advise” which is polite and at a respectable distance. A proper phrasing could be “Please let me know if you can help in this matter.”
How to deal with people who give lots of advice?
Step up to the plate and speak your mind in kindness when appropriate, but keep your eye on humility if you want to build the trust so crucial to getting ahead and getting the kind of respect-based power that lasts. And if you’re on the receiving end of all the advice? Remind yourself that, for whatever reason, your speaker feels powerless.
How does giving advice increase your sense of power?
This study found that giving advice increased a sense of power for the participants, especially for those who were interested in gaining more power. When the participants thought others hadn’t taken their advice, their sense of power went down rather than up.
What’s the correct way to ask for advice?
In most situations, I would use would, as usually the person you’re asking is capable of giving you advice. They are both OK. I’m guessing that someone who says “might” is not OK is from the US. “Might” used in this way is much more common in the UK than the US. Yes, the first statement is a “natural” construction.
What does it mean if someone might be able to help you?
The “might be able to” is a bit more formal — perhaps because it implies more hesitation on the part of the asker if this is an appropriate time and place and topic for the question. The “if you could” might be read to imply that you doubt the ability of the person being questioned to help you.
