text: Everyone has a different perspective, so when asking for advice different people are going to see the situation differently and give different advice. Getting different perspectives helps you see the situation in ways other people see it. Only having one perspective means you may think that there is only one right thing to do, but by seeing the situation the way others do you could discover that there is a better option. Walking in somebody elses shoes can help you make a better decision for not only yourself, but everyone.
