There are some people who just can’t make up their minds by themselves. They often ask the advice of their friends then do the opposite of what their friends have suggested.
My brother Jack is such a person. He can never decide what to do, and is always asking my opinion. I try to help him as well as I can, but he never takes my advice. Yesterday I answered his question in a different way.
“Look, ” he said, showing me a letter. “What do you think I ought to do?”
The letter was an offer of a job. It seemed to be an excellent opportunity(机会) for a young engineer. Jack would be sent to Africa to work. The job would pay very well, and he would be able to travel and visit many interesting places.
“What do you think, Bill?” he asked. “Should I go? If I were to accept the job, I’d have to stay in Africa for two years. I might have to stay longer. But it would be wonderful experience for me. What should I do?”
“Don’t go.” I told him. “You’d be very unhappy.”
“Don’t go?” he looked very surprised at me.
As you probably guessed, Jack accepted the offer. I don’t know if he knew what I really meant.
