text: Another point I'd like to make is that some people may be wiser or more well-educated than others. It may come off as rude, but its a good point. Asking a toddler for a good book to read would have a much different outcome than asking your grandfather. This kind of ties in with my "experience" point as well, as younger or less wise people may also have less experience. Asking multiple people for advice to get an educated person is also important.
