Do not make friends with a
hot-tempered man,
do not associate with one easily
angered,
or you may learn his ways and get
yourself ensnared.
Proverbs
22:24,25
Footnote:
People tend to become like those with whom they
spend a lot of time. Even the negative characteristics sometimes rub off. The
Bible exhorts us to be cautious in our choice of companions. Choose people with
characteristics you would like to develop in your own life.
Apply your heart to
instruction
and your ears to words of
knowledge.
Proverbs 23:12
Footnote:
The people most likely to gain knowledge are
those who are willing to listen. It is a sign of strength, not weakness, to pay
attention to what others have to say. People who are eager to listen continue
to learn and grow throughout their lives. If we refuse to become set in our
ways, we can always expand the limits of our knowledge.
