What It Means To Be Wise
Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise. Proverbs 19:20, NIV Wise people know how to listen. Sometimes, others would only consider someone as wise if they could figure things out on their own. They somehow believed that wisdom only comes from within. But according to proverbs, people who are counted as wise are those who listen to advice and accept discipline. This means they don’t just rely on their own understanding.
