It is important to surround yourself with those who will pick you up and encourage you along life's way. A friend called me today and left me with this thought, though I am not sure of his intent (smile). (Sidebar: The New International version is a little more straight forward as it injects that he who does not adhere to discipline is stupid...strong words, but so very true.)
Proverbs 12
1Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
