Do you listen to other people's advice, or do you prefer figuring things out yourself?

Depending on what it is, I would like to try and figure things out for myself first, and if eventually I cannot figure it out, then I would ask for peoples advice.

There is nothing wrong with asking others first, its just a matter of preference, I personally like the challenge of figuring things out myself, so sometimes I may insist on not asking others.
But again, it depends on the situation and what its about.
