solomon quotes

Reading inspirational proverbs of
Solomon has always aided me in
difficult times. Whenever I find
myself in sticky situations, or
whenever I'm caught between
two
confusing paths, his wise words
often have the power to clear my
head.
Why don't you read and benefit
from Solomon's words of
wisdom
yourself?
Inspirational Proverb of Solomon
#
1: “Do you see a man wise in his
own eyes? There is more hope
for a
fool than him.”
This particular proverb always
reminds me not to get caught up
in
my own hype. No matter how
much
I have accomplished, I dare not
think of myself as the greatest or
the wisest of all.
Sure, I like to reward myself for a
job well done; but the truth is,
there
will always be someone far
greater
and wiser than myself. And the
moment I start thinking that I am
the best is the moment I stop
growing. Don't fall into this trap
and keep finding ways to better
yourself.

2: “An iron sharpens iron, so a
friend sharpens a friend.”
This is one of my favorite quotes
because it is phrased so wittily.
The
way King Solomon uses the word
“sharpens” can mean a lot of
different things.
There are times when
“sharpens”
talks about having a friend who
keeps you in line. Let's be honest.
Sometimes, we lose sight of who
we
are on the journey to success.
On the other hand, “sharpens”
can
also mean having a friend to help
you become a better person.
Your
friends at work, for example, can
help you develop your skills in
pitching and presenting ideas.

3: “Your own soul is nourished
when you are kind; it is
destroyed
when you are cruel.”
Some people make fun of those
who
are kind and nice. Those in the
corporate world are particularly
vicious when it comes to getting
the
corner office or that impending
promotion.
However, this enlightening
proverb
reminds everyone that while
lying,
cheating and basically doing
cruel
things can get you short-term
success, your acts will destroy
you
in the long run.
Before you go down that path,
think again. At the end of the
day,
can you really stomach what
you're about to do?
These inspirational proverbs of
Solomon are as good as gold
when it
comes to making your life richer.
Don't just limit yourself to
reading
them once; read them again and
again so that you'll always
remember
