Advice when most needed is least heeded

I think this proverb is absolutely right. These days I received some comments and advices about my learning condition from my parents, I felt depressed and sometimes I got angry. Even though I knew they were just telling the truth, I still felt bad. Therefore, I appreciated Jessie very much; she said she likes students to challenge her. She didn’t feel bad when students tried to advance their opinions, in the contrary, she thought it’s a good phenomenon, it meant we were thinking, not just sitting there and looking at her. She likes to know what are our opinions and thoughts and has great interaction with us. She is large hearted who likes to receive lots of opinions. I hope I can as large-hearted as her does. Then I can learn more and make progress.
One of my friends is the student leader of their department said to me that it’s difficult to express her opinions in one group since others would feel irritated. Therefore, she chose to shut her mouth up no matter how awful she felt the decisions they made were. I felt sorry for her and at the same time I thought of what’ve happened to me these days. I think everyone has the right to speak out their opinions and others should have the tolerance to hear different sound. It would make not only themselves but also the whole group great progress.
