....on the usual and be reflective, so here's something to ponder on -
I've just read the following passages from scripture - The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice (Proverbs Chap 12 verse 15) and Pride....breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice. (Proverbs 13.10)......and one more for luck - Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed (Proverbs 15:22)
It's true what they say, just as it's true that we all have blind spots. Those who genuinely love feel compelled to point out the shortcomings. We have to be big enough and smart enough to go beyond the sting of the words and listen to the truth in the message. Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy. (Aye, another piece from the book of Proverbs.)
So here's the question - Who tells you the truth, or who told you the truth?
That person, a person you may have banished, is your real friend.
