First off, is just to hear what they honestly have to say, because it can help you grow and to be a wiser person. Another reason is, they have had life experience and have lived longer than us, so their advice could have a really huge impact because they have been there before in our shoes. Finally it can lead you in the right direction to not make the same mistake they may have made when they were our age.
