Honestly, both matter in different situations. Advice is useful because it comes from experience, knowledge, or outside perspective. Instinct matters because sometimes your gut feeling notices things your mind cannot fully explain yet. The problem happens when people blindly follow either one.
Good advice from the right people can save time and mistakes, but ignoring your own instincts completely can also feel wrong later. In emotional or personal decisions, instinct often becomes stronger. In financial or technical matters, informed advice usually helps more. The smartest approach is probably balancing logic, experience, and intuition together instead of depending only on one thing.
