text: First, advice from multiple people can help broaden your mindset. You may find yourself seeing the situation in a more serious or less serious way, and may find an easier way of how to deal with it. The fact that you have heard more than one opinion means that you can prepare if the situation somehow changes, which brings us to our next reason. Next, you can switch plans if the decision ever arises. Only one person could probably not give you all the advice you need, so more than one persons ideas could help you come up with a back-up plan to get out of a predicament that you may have not seen coming. Finally, you may change opinions about how to deal with a similar situation in the future, whether it be preparing for a big speech, or simply taking a small quiz. If after everything is taken care of, and you tell yourself "I could have done it better" or "I didnt like the way I dealt with that", you could form your own opinion or make your own advice to give out of your own experience and everyone elses.
