text: Everyone is different and has had different experiences. These experiences change us and are the very thing that form friendship, ideals and views. That is why I think the most important thing when trying to seek advice is to consider different experiences. Ask different age groups, job titles, ethnicity, religions, races, genders for their advice and they will vary. Through their lives they have seen many things that the others have not, heard about things that the others have not and learned things that the others have not. Differentiating experiences give you new perspectives through the eyes of others. Doing this makes you a smarter person and even if you do not end up using their advice you still gain a new perspective on your issue.
