text: First of all, asking multiple people can give you several new points of view. Whether you're in a situation you know a lot or a little about, asking for several people's advice can make you think about think about it in a whole new way. For example, you could have an extremely hard time completing your math homework and ask your teacher for advice, then gain a little better understanding of how to complete the problems. If you then ask another person about how they complete the problems you may learn even more about the problems, and gain an even better understanding of how they work causing you to perform better than you would have otherwise. This is one of the reasons why I believe you should ask multiple people for advice.
