text: When someone gives you advice they either have been in the same situation or they must just be a little wiser. They have better knowledge and can help you make your choice. If you don't know much then you can make a choice and it may not have been the best. In my opinion, going to someone else for advice knowing they've been where you are right now and they are willing to help you not make a bad decision I would listen to them. Depending on the situation your in, it may or may not be the best choice, but it's something to keep in mind.
