text: Don't forget, you're not the only one that has asked and received advice. People's points of view have been influenced by their families. And advice is mostly given by friends and family, and other people have different families and friend groups. If someone lived in another place and time some advice given to them may not be relevant to you right now, but it may be relevant in your future, so it's best to listen regardless. Advice changes over the years by many people as they see fit, as the advice gets tweaked by the passing of generation to generation.
