open up and listen

proverbs 11:2
"When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom."

when a person is arrogant, they fail to see the value of others' perspectives and it impairs their ability to learn from advice of others and to take those thoughts in and make their own view stronger or rationalize their own actions more. but with humility comes that necessary perceptiveness and, therefore, wisdom.

regardless of what i may think about other people or certain ideas, in keeping an open mind, but taking care not to fall easily to any traps set up against me, i will gain more and learn more. in the coming days, as you move in to college, dont discount anyone too soon. take some time.
