Advice

What kind of person you are: a person likes to give advices, or a person likes to hear advices. For me, I am very bad at giving advices. I always give some useless advices to my friends, but they said I am a good listener. Every time, my friends come to me ask for advices. I always give some stupid responds. One time, a friend asked me what she should wear on a date. I told her did not dress up, and wore the worst clothes she had. It was a test to test her boyfriends loved her or not. Of course, she didn't take my suggestion. Another friend asked me what she should do when her parents were going to divorce. I asked her who were you going to be with. It is very obvious that I am not good at giving advices. I think sometimes I just want to let them laugh and feel relaxed before solving the problems. But, sometimes it brings some negative effect that my friends didn't think that was funny. Therefore, I only give advices to my closed friends; otherwise, I will loose friends. Most of time I will be a listener first until I really understand the whole issue.

I was major in Finance, but I want to change my major to Marketing or Advertising. In addition, I am also intesested on pictur books. Therefore, I combined these two to my topic: market in children's books. About children's book, I might talk about the writing and illustrating in children's books; about market, I would like to give some background, sales, trends and new media in children's book. I took some makreting classes in undergraduate, but to children's book, I willneed to do more research about this field.
