I've spent much of my life acquiring intelligence through formal education. I started kindergarten when I was 5 years old and I finished my graduate degree about a month before my 29th birthday. I only took off 1 year during this time. I've been through 3 different graduation ceremonies, read countless books, and written more bad papers than you would care to read.
Yet recently I've stumbled across the book of Proverbs again. This simple book of ancient Hebrew poetry. These writings are simply stuffed full of life-changing principles.
I'm not sure what the cumulative effect will be of my formal education when my life is over, but I'm very confident that soaking up the truth of Proverbs and courageously living out those principles of wisdom will keep me from a life of regrets. This is what I want most. I want to end my days and look back on a life filled with decisions that I'd do again if I could.
Prov 2.12 - wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men
Prov 2.16 - it will save you from the adulteress
