text: Another reason why getting advice from different people can help is that they all have different experiences to learn from. Sometimes listening to what others have gone through helps with a decision because you can imagine what might happen through their words. For example; I was deciding whether or not I wanted to go to school on the last day. I asked two friends; one said that I shouldn't go because we weren't going to be doing much and from their experience the last day is never fun; the other said I should go because you never know how eventful the day might be and from their experience sometimes the last day is a lot of fun. When it came down to the wire I decided not to go because in the long run going that day wasn't going to benefit me.
