text: Lets say you have a problem, and you dont know how to solve it. You ask a friend for advise, and they tell you what they think you should do. Now, there is one opinion from one person. This could be very helpful advise, or it could be awful advise. You would never know without getting another opinion from another person. Getting multiple pieces of advice is a very good thing to do. A real life example would be when it was almost the end of the quarter and I had no service hours. I asked my friend who told me to cheat and make a fake email address. I asked somebody else and they said they were going to do some service hours the next day, and that I could do it with them. If I had not gotten two opinions, I could have risked getting an even worse grade and getting in trouble.
