Whoever heeds correction gains understanding.
—Proverbs 15:32
Maxims of Wisdom
Part 3
It requires no special talent to be miserable.
Negative thoughts don’t produce positive results.
Nothing can control my attitude without my consent.
If I plant poison ivy, I shouldn’t expect to grow roses.
I should learn from the past, but refuse to let it define my future.
I won’t get better by chance, but by choice.
I am young only once, but I can be immature indefinitely.
The contented person is never poor; the discontented never rich.
Happiness doesn’t come from the goods I have, but from the good I do.
God knows my past, sees my present, and can change my future.
Wisdom doesn’t always come with age;
age sometimes comes alone.
