Living and Learning
I never lose, I either win or learn. (Nelson Mandela, late president of South Africa)
Really? How can Mandela say that? He was imprisoned for years because of his opposition to the government’s policies. He clarified, “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” He learned well during those difficult years, finally earning, not just his freedom, but the opportunity to serve his country in its highest office.
Whoever learns from correction is wise. (Proverbs 15:5)
Instruct the wise, and they will be even wiser. Teach the righteous, and they will learn even more. (Proverbs 9:9)
