text: While getting caught up in the moment, it's easy to develop bad ideas. People can get frustrated or caught off guard and go with the first idea that pops into their head. It's also easy to dismiss other ideas if someone thinks his first instinct is the only way to handle the problem. However, if an individual obtains more than person's opinion, and it's different from his, he's more likely to listen than if it were just one opinion. If going to people for advice, someone will automatically go to people he trusts. Realizing that he trusts them will make it easier for the person to listen to their advice. Hearing from someone that he trusts helps him understand that their idea wasn't the best option, and this will lead to a better outcome. For example, if someone was struggling with school work, his first instinct might be to procrastinate and put off the work. If he goes to his parents and/or friends and they tell him to get the work done as soon as possible, it might motivate him to finish the work instead of put it off. This is because if more than one person thinks he should get the work done, and he's the only one that thinks he should procrastinate, the feeling of being outnumbered can lead to him understanding why his idea wouldn't be effective.
