Shug Jordan who was the football coach at Auburn University, asked one of his former players (named Mike) if he would help him do some recruiting that year. He says, “Well, sure coach…..just tell me what kind of player you’re looking for.”
The coach says, “Well, you know there’s that fellow, you knock him down and he just stays down!” Mike said, “We don’t want him, do we, coach?” He says, “You’re right.”
Coach says, “Then there’s that fellow, you knock him down and he gets up, you knock him down again and he stays down.” Mike says, “We don’t want him either, do we, coach?”
Coach says, “You’re right. No, we don’t….but Mike, there’s a fellow you knock him down, he gets up, knock him down, he gets up, Knock him down, he gets up!” Mike says, “Oh, that’s the guy we want, isn’t it, coach?” Coach says, “No, we don’t want him either.

1 The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel: 2 To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight, 3 to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity; 4 to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the youth— 5 Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance, 6 to understand a proverb and a saying, the words of the wise and their riddles. 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.
