text: Another reason on why asking multiple people for advice is better than asking one is because not only will you gain more knowledge about one trait, you'll gain two. The other trait is open mindedness. Have you ever heard someone say, "You have to be more open minded."? Well, what they mean by that is that you or whoever they're talking to, has to not be so closed in on one idea. One of my personal experiences, is when I was doing kick boxing. I did kick boxing my whole life and I loved it, but that doesn't mean it's the only sport I can do for the rest of my life. So, I decided to do volleyball too. I did this because I had to be open minded to other sports other than kick boxing.
