Walk into a local breakfast diner any day of the week, and you’re likely to find a group of retired men or women having breakfast together. If you listen for very long, you will often overhear them sharing stories about lessons they learned throughout their lives. These men and women lived and learned through many hard times in their lives. The book of Proverbs encourages us to find people like them and learn the lessons they share. If you want to become wise, find someone older than you, and go to breakfast with them. Sit quietly. Listen and apply their knowledge to your life.
