Proverbs 12:15
The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice.
I meet up youths and young adults and I'm blessed to have a few who are always open to listen to me, even if it seems that I've always something to lecture them about.
It's difficult enough to have to go through issues, but to have someone tell you what to do, why you need to stop doing or draw out points to correct - that is a pain. So, I often wonder why the few that I oversee would always stick around to be corrected. Afterall, they are young, and the young will always make mistakes.
For every one of those whom I have who listen to me, I'm blessed because I see in them the willingness to change for the better. I don't proclaim to have all the answers that they would need, but at least they know I tell them what I know to guide in the best I can. For such like these, the bible records them to be wise.
Those, however, who would not want to be corrected live because they feel that there's noone who is allowed to speak into their lives. They are called fools because life comprises more than our own ideals and plans.
Listen to advice from those who love us and who we view as godly, because it profits us much to heed their instructions which are meant to keep us from harm and pitfalls.
