text: Second, asking more experienced people may help you find a much easier way to deal with future problems. First they may offer more helpful advice. They may have been in the same spot you were in many times, and may have found a more easier way to deal with it each time, similar to how you may get the most recent and updated information from a website while doing research. Next, more experienced people may have different, more efficient ways to deal with a problem. There may be different ways to deal with the same type of situation, and you didn't realize. So when you run into the same problem again and you use the same technique to deal with it but it doesn't seem to work, just switch to Plan B that someone suggested to you. Another reason is that they may simply give you more straight-forward advice. Some people can give you a more complicated suggestion that you may not understand until after everything is dealt with, and that may be frustrating. The same person your'e asking for advice may have had that happen to them, and they try to avoid giving you that constant state of frustration, so they can just skip right to the important points.
