In the rapidly changing and complex society, it is obvious for everyone to deal with the various problems. Some people prefer to solve the problems by themselves due to the responsibility for the results that is briought about later on. However, I believe it is more effective to listen to others advices because it offers the reliable solutions and various options to choose.
To begin with, advices from others who are more professional in specific area can be more reliable. It is true when people face the bad situations in their health, study and work, they tend to find the specilists such as doctor, professors and their boss for better suggestions. It is possible that these experts pass on their knowledge and experiences as they are educated more and longer. Therefore, it will help people to easily figure out the way to solve the problems, which would be more trustful. For example, when I prepared my Master's thesis, I was struggle with carring out one theoretical concept on the gas transport machanism. The data form my own experiences was inconventional to the original theory and the literatures. I could not find the reason even after I read fifteen papers and books for 1 week. After I asked to my professor about the conflict between the literature and the practical results, I was finally aware of the reason on the experimental error.
In addition, there will be more unique choices with others opinions. This is possible that one's thought is limited and unbias to brings up several ideas. However, if the various thoughts from many people are collected, many points of view will follow, encouraging to choose the best solutions among them. For instance, when my friend decided to enter the law school, he was torn between going to the big city or staying near his home or studying abroad. After he asked his family, friends, teachers, and even his boss at part-time job, he was able to make the lists with the benefits and disadvantages of each selection. In the end, he chose one solution that is more advatagous.
In brief, it is not so difficult to solve the problems if we are more open-mined to accept the opinions from others because it provides the reliable solutions form the experts and valuable approach from many people having their own idea. It truly plays a significant role in deciding the best choise for the better life. |
