Day 78 of wisdom
“Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something.”
Plato
One of America's top motivational speaker Les Brown once said, “it is better to be quiet, and let people think you are foolish, than to open your mouth to confirm it.” A wise man speaks only when it is wise for him to do so, but a foolish man speaks even when he should not.
When a wise man speak, those who hear it must pay attention, and his words bring relief to their hearts, but when a foolish man speaks he causes a stir. Wisdom is not only in what is said, but also in how it is said.
The wise does not just speak, because to the foolish, his words is foolishness. Wisdom they say comes with old age; but not all old people are wise, because wisdom is learned through experience, and not just gotten on platters of gold. Proverbs 22:15 says, “Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; ...” This implies that, by nature a child is foolish, and that very verse gave the solution to foolishness in a child. Therefore, wisdom must be earned through a determined effort to be wise.
When you speak and your words are not regarded, do not be surprised, the foolish never see the wisdom in the words of the wise.
