Best advice I ever received was to not give advice, listen to what they have to say instead.
Most of the time people don't need advice, they just want someone to listen.

It's very true. Basically it sums up what Carnegie said in How to Win Friends... and it does work.

The problem with listening is
you have to hear the kind of boring trivial problems people whine about. A better approach is to tell people to tell it to someone who cares, and then light a cigarette, put on your shades and then walk away in slow motion as a huge explosion happens but you're too cool to turn around and look at it because you've seen it all before.
