If you are older, and by older I mean in your thirties, then the matter becomes far more difficult. I would say almost impossible, as far as advice is concerned. How many of us at that age know somebody to whom we can say: ‘What do you truly believe my strong points to be?’ and expect a meaningful answer? And even if we can find someone we feel comfortable discussing such a subject with, how many of us know anyone whose opinion is worth the potential embarrassment?
