Yes, yes, yes! Taking advice is incredibly important, and a trusted circle of advisors absolutely invaluable. And don't only include your own buddies in this circle: Reach out to older people and ask them about their experiences. Why repeat the same mistakes the previous generation made? Just one thing in your comment I strongly disagree with: "Wise men don't need [advice]" In my experience, the wisest people I know are the ones most often asking for advice... Or, as King Solomon put it: "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice." (Proverbs 12:15)
