text: Most people can't remember a single thought they had the day before, but many still remember the wise advice they were given years upon years ago. This demonstrates the importance of asking multiple people for advice as you will often remember it, preventing you from repeating the same mistake. I have heard many stories where people continue to commit the same crimes over and over again until they finally seek advice from trustworthy individuals and stop. This emphasizes the need to get advice even when you have already made a mistake.
