text: It's a good idea to ask ask advice from more than one person. It offers clarity, gives support, and new solutions to a problem. Next time you ask for advice, do yourself a favor, and ask more than one person.        When your parents tell you to go clean your room, you most likely dont want to do it. But when you are put to the same task on your own time and rules, then you're more likely to do it. People like to be in control and have things to their benefit. When you're on vacation you dont want your professor telling you to do an assignment when it's your time off. Even if you must do the project, you would much rather have the project based on your needs than having the professor assign it based on his views. This is why summer projects that schools assign should be student designed.
