text: We often seek advice from others before making big decisions. To make these decisions it is important that we are informed. Talking to multiple people is also a great way to become more informed about your situation. When you talk to people who may have experienced something similar, you acquire more information and insight to help you make a decision. Imagine that you needed help picking a new house for your family, you might talk to your best friend who would suggest to biggest one, but your mom might suggest the smallest one, less to clean, and another parent might suggest to middle one because your kids need space. Everyone thinks differently, all of these thoughts together can help you make the smartest choice. Notice how when scientists or researchers conduct their studies, they use multiple people rather than just one. That is because they recognize to importance of gaining information from more that just one person. You can feel better about your decision if you know you were informed about it first.
