text: Asking informed individuals is also very important when making decisions in life. Trying to get advice from someone that doesn't know much about the subject or situation is like asking an animal for directions. Without prior or current knowledge about the decision to be made the advice they may or may not give will be uninformed and unhelpful. Over 53% of people have had similar decisions they have had to make about any topic. By seeking multiple opinions you have a higher chance of getting advice from someone who experienced the same thing as you and had to make the same or similar decision. As a result of getting more than one opinion you can get the most informed advice to make the best decision possible.
