There are two kinds of people.
The Book of Proverbs in the Bible talks about two kinds of people, the Wise Man and the Fool. Throughout the book the comparisons between the two are made
It's a useful and enlightening study.
The wise person is long-sighted, prepares for the future and looks down the road to see if trouble is coming. The fool is short-sighted, only thinking about the pleasure of the present with no concern for the future.
The wise one is industrious and secure. The fool is lazy and vulnerable.
The wise watches his words and is careful what he says and how he says it. The fool blurts out any and everything that comes into his mind—creating all kinds of trouble.
The comparisons continue in a powerful way throughout the book. If the way of the wise is appealing to you, there is nothing you could read that would help you more.
In every situation you face in life there will be a variety of responses but they usually break down to wise and foolish ones. Obviously its the wise response that wins.
