Proverbs
The Wise
Wise doesn’t mean smartest, brightest or most talented.
While wisdom may coexist with these traits, having wisdom means many things.
It comes from experience, and to let experience do its work, a person has to be open to receiving the lessons that it has to teach.
The person who ultimately does well is the one who can learn from his own experience or the experience of others, make that learning a part of himself and then deliver results from that experience base.
But the bottom line with a wise person is that they’re open to feedback.
It helps the wise, and they value it.
If a person is willing to take feedback, you will likely get your return on investment.
The Fool
If the chief descriptor of the wise person is that when the light shows up, he looks at it, receives it, joins it and adjusts his behavior to align with the light, the fool does the opposite: he rejects the feedback, resists it, explains it away and does nothing to adjust to meet its requirements.
He’s never wrong: someone else is.
Whereas talking about a problem to a wise person helps, it is time to quit talking about the problem with a foolish person and time to have a different conversation.
You have to take steps to protect what is important to you, the mission or other people.
Give limits that stop the collateral damage of their refusal to change, and where appropriate, give consequences that will cause them to feel the pain of their choice not to listen.
The Evil
When you deal with an evil person, you have to go into protection mode, not helping mode, and it’s a big step to realize that there are people who hurt you because they want to.
There are some people whose desire is to hurt others and, you have to protect yourself with lawyers, guns and money.
You’ll see what I mean.
Do not hope for the evil person to change.
Stay away, create the firmest protective ending that you can, and get real help to do it.
Use your lawyers, law enforcement (this is the guns part), and your financial resources to make sure you will not be hurt by someone who is trying to destroy you or the things that matter to you.
Summary
You should:
1) talk to wise people about problems
2) talk to fools about consequences
3) not talk to evil people at all, period
You cannot deal with all people in the same way, but once you learn the character traits that give real reason to hope that they can be different, you can know better whom you want to invite into your tomorrow.
