text: Furthermore, listening to other people's opinions can help someone learn more about their decision. What I mean by this is, for example, if you wanted to try skydiving for once, you could ask people who have already done it what they think about it. It can help you look at the bigger picture. Asking other people with background experience can help inform you about your decision. Asking people for sources is important too. These sources can help, in a paper, make someone's writing more credible. If someone's making a hard decision, they can check the source and list pros and cons about a decision they aren't exactly sure about yet.
