Giving and receiving advice can be a very beneficial skill that can be used all throughout your life. Giving advice can lead to leadership opportunities or many other things. In this weeks project runway we see the designers deal with handling advice. Some take advice in a good way and some not so much. Many people don’t want advice and this goes for outside of design too, many don’t want to hear what others have to say about their product unless its good feedback. No one wants to be put down and hear what they could’ve done better.
We see some designers take the advice in a good way which will help them in the long run because the judges will be happy to see their ideas come to life, on the other hand we see designers become defensive because of the comments that they receive on their own work. Many don’t like to hear criticism even if its good. The designers that don’t accept the advice they are given are seen failing throughout the episode because they chose not to listen and go their own route which can be good or bad just depending on the situation.
The neat nature of all of this is that this is a life lesson, you will have to listen to advice for the rest of your life, not just for this specific school project, this shows us that this is a life long thing and not just temporary. We see the good and the bad of not taking advice and that comes with good and bad outcome. This is a life skill that takes many people a lot of time to accept or even learn.
