text: Secondly, you grow as a person. To me the brain is like a seed and opinions are like water, and seeds need water to grow. So when you receive advice/opinions from others you brain grows, not literally, but it grows in wisdom and knowledge. Especially receiving advice from people who are older in age and people who have who have been through a lot, such as people who've been in war are much more wiser, because they've experienced more things than others. Getting advice from people will help you build character. In the way that you will mature, because you'd learn more things about life. Also it would help you learn to be able to see different peoples point of views, which can help you make a better choice, by being able to see the outcomes of the choices you pick.
