text: Seeking multiple opinions can expose you to a wider range of ideas. Each person you ask could have their own unique idea that you might not have thought of before. Even if you don't like someone's suggestion, it could help spark different ideas in you. For example, when my older sister Generic_Name was deciding what high school she wanted to attend, she spoke to many different people about it. Her English teacher recommended a private school nearby that Generic_Name had never heard of before. However, that school turned out to be perfect for her, and she ended up choosing to go there in the following fall. This is just one example of how seeking multiple opinions can expose you to a wider range of ideas.
