text: Getting multiple opinions can cause you to think differently. Getting different thoughts on a subject can make you change what you were originally thinking. Sometimes you like the other person's idea and decide to go with that one instead of what you thought. Hearing an opinion you had not thought of can open up your mind. It adds a new, and possibly better, option. It can help you to see a topic from others points of view. Seeing things from a different perspective can also help you find out how others will be affected. Thinking differently can expand your options and help you make a choice.
