text: Seeking multiple opinions can help some other people. First, if you are able to collect information then it is most likely that you can help out a friend make better decisions. For example, if one of your friends is having trouble deciding whether he or she should buy a new phone. You could probably help them out in the same way you did for yourself. Furthermore, you can even help him or her by doing the work together meaning that both you and your friend can work everything out so he or she could get the job done. As a result, he or she probably made a better choice because you helped her or him through the process.
