text: With all decisions, there are outcomes, or the result of that decision. These "outcomes" can be positive or negative. When pressed with hard decisions, consulting a peer, friend, or family member can better your decision because they might foresee a possible outcome of that decision you may have disregarded. According to a survey done by psychologists at Stanford University, 78% of people they surveyed admit that the decision they most regret, is one they made on their own. People are not fortune tellers, they can't predict everything that will happen, how it will happen, and when it will happen. This is why it helps to hear others opinions, because they might see what you don't. Dr. Benson, a Psychologist at MIT once quoted "Everyones brain is like a snowflake, each different from one another." This quote simply put, is an explanation for why seeking opinions from others, can open your eyes to outcomes you may have disregarded, and it's because everyones brain and thinking process is different.
