text: First, when you get multiple opinions before making a decision, you can hear different viewpoints and perspectives. You can listen to the past experiences of others and learn from what they did. In many cases, a person you ask may have been put in the same situation as you. They may have made a choice that they thought was right initially, but realized it was not right in retrospect. They have the power to persuade you from repeating their mistake and help you learn from the past. You can also see the impact the decision has made on multiple people and choose which one you want to end up like.
