text: Lastly, asking advice from people who arent trying to beat you in something, or who truly want the best for you is a vary good thing. Generic_Name, my friend, is a dancer, and in dance if you are competing, and a piece of clothing such as a hat, or a big piece of decoration on the out fit falls off, you will lose a lot of points and most likely lose the competition. When she was making her out fit for her Ariel themed dance, she asked her friend, also her top competitor, what to get to make bubble, and what fabric to use. Hey friend recommended a fabric that ripped easily, and a plastic to use for bubbles, which was really heavy, and would shatter it dropped. In Generic_Names dance, her shirt ripped on the shoulder, where the bubble where, in the middle of a twisty jump. The bubbles came crashing down, splattering all over that place after breaking into a bunch of fragments. She was disqualified, and her friend won the competition. Another time, my mom asked her friend how to make brownies, for the baking competition. Our neighbor really wanted to win and gave her a recipe that had lemon extract and baking soda, rather than vanilla extract, and baking powder. My mom ended up coming in last place. This is why it is a good idea to make sure your not asking advice from competitors.
