text: When you ask multiple people for advice instead of one person you get to hear all the different choices you can make. Lets say you want to play basketball or baseball, and you ask somebody and they say why don't you play soccer and you decide to play soccer. This can help you come up with more options then you had before you asked people for help. Studies show that most options people pick they don't think themselves, but they ask another person and they tell them the option.
