text: My first reason on why this is a good method is people can be wiser than you. People older than you can be very wise and more mature than you. With them being very wise their opinions can lead to you making the right decision. Their advice can also teach you life lessons that will stick with you. They can also reflect off of things that have happened in their past which can also give you advice as well. Wise people might be your parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles. People that are wise are a good source for people to ask advice from.
