But, yeah, people tend to have a lot of pride, which is not necessarily a bad thing, so they will tend to want to think that they came to the resolution on their own rather than someone else telling them... so it can sometimes be difficult to figure out how to give some guidance while letting the other person come to their own conclusions.
You're right pride is not necessarily bad but it should be apply wisely, because there are some certain areas we may be needing help from experienced people because without thier help we may not be able to scale through without making a mistake, even if we may want to make attempt but it will be unwise to have Pride in something we know nothing about when we know of someone who
is well educated in that particular aspect especially when it has to do with money. However pride need to be applied in areas that does not involve money, because you might experience series of loses before you can still come to the resolution.
