Personal experience has a major role to play in decision making and advice. The basis of your mentor’s advice might be different from your own personal experience or another mentor’s experience. Even when they all mean well, the idea of mentorship is not entirely to copy and paste, but rather to learn.

You will also observe that when you take a mentor’s advice and you win, it's easy to reach out to them and accredit them with their honor. But when the advice goes south, it is difficult to reach out to them and blame them. At this point, you will then realize that only you are responsible for your decisions.

It is better off you learn, observe the pattern, make your own research, and apply your own principles.
