Sample answer to describe a person from whom others like to ask for advice
One person from whom others love to ask for advice is my uncle, Minh. He’s always been a go-to person in my family whenever anyone needs guidance. The reason people turn to him is that he’s incredibly wise and has a lot of life experience. He’s been through thick and thin, and his advice is often based on personal experiences rather than theory. I guess that’s why people trust him so much.
Uncle Minh tends to give advice about life decisions, like career choices, relationships, and even financial matters. For example, when I was unsure about whether to study abroad or stay in Vietnam, he helped me weigh the pros and cons. He didn’t just give me a straightforward answer; instead, he helped me think critically and make up my own mind, which I really appreciated.
People like to ask for his advice because he never sugarcoats things. He calls a spade a spade, which can be tough to hear sometimes, but it’s always honest and constructive. On top of that, he’s a great listener, so you never feel like you’re being judged. He has a way of putting you at ease and helping you see the bigger picture, even when things seem overwhelming.
Personally, I hold Uncle Minh in high regard. His advice has helped me get through some tough spots, and I feel incredibly lucky to have someone like him in my corner. I hope I can be as level-headed and wise as him one day.
