text: Seeking out multiple opinions on a problem you are facing can help show different viewpoints of the problem. Everybody is different in the world. We've heard it preached throughout our lives. And asking for advice just proves that more. All over the world each person is experiencing something different, it may be a small difference in reality but the each mind processes it differently. That's why asking multiple people is important. A 14 year-old who went to the nationals in robotics team is going to have a different opinion than an adult who goes to Harvard for engineering. It doesn't mean that one is more important than the other, but it does effect the advice they give. Age is another variable that changes viewpoint. Your grandfather is going to have a different opinion than your friend in high school because of the times they each grew up in. Because everyone has so many different experiences and mindsets, the person asking for advice is going to have to choose which one is the best or even combine some of the them to make the best or most optimal advice for their problem.
