What kinds of personal qualities do people need to give good advice?

I'd say the most important quality is empathy-being able to understand someone else's situation and feelings. Without that, advice can feel disconnected or even judgmental. For example, when I gave advice to my friend about managing her workload, I drew from my own experience as a UI designer in Shanghai. I didn't just tell her what to do; I shared how I felt overwhelmed once and what steps helped me. That made it relatable and practical. At the same time, you also need honesty-not sugarcoating things-but delivered in a way that doesn't discourage. It's a balance between being supportive and truthful.
