text: First and foremost, it is important to ask multiple people for advice because people often have multiple opinions and ideas for what to do. For example, one time I was fencing and my next bout was against a tough opponent. The opponent's skill was far beyond mine, however, if I learned how he fenced and how to counter him, I might be able to beat him. I asked many different people about how to counter him and they all told me different things. Even though everyone told me something different, I could use this knowledge to my advantage and combine my knowledge about him in the past to formulate a plan and act on it. In the end, I won all my bouts and ended up winning the tournament. This shows that even though multiple people may have good advice on what to do, the wisdom of the crowd is ultimately the best option. This means that combined, many people together is smarter than any one person, and this will help a person get better advice.
