There is still a lot to learn

There are people in this world that believe they are all that with a cherry on top. I mean, you cannot tell them anything. No matter the subject, they are the foremost authority. When they walk into a room, they are automatically the most intelligent and interesting person there. Of course, they are probably none of those things but don't tell them that.

If you come across someone with the mentality that we just mentioned, it is hard to tell them anything. You can try to be considerate and tell them something that could really save them some heartache and hurt but they won't even listen to that sound advice. It is really difficult to talk to certain people. However...

Today's word is Proverbs 9:9, which reads, "Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning."

...If we try to tell something to someone who is wise enough to know that they don't know everything and that they can still learn something from others, they will take that information and become even wiser. I have said before that I am as dumb as a sack of concrete so I have tons to learn. But, I also know that I have never had a conversation with anyone where I didn't learn something, either good information or something about the conversationalist.

The point today is to not only try to instruct those who are "instructable" but, also, to be someone that is open to instruction. There are tons of people in this world who can teach us tons of stuff if we will listen. And, trust me, we all have reason to listen - there is still a lot to learn.
