Listen to Advice and Grow Wise
Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may be wise in the end.
Do I treat the one who speaks hard truth to me as an enemy?
📝Reflection
Pleasant words make me feel good; unpleasant ones make me grow. When young I did not know that order, and kept my distance from those who spoke hard truths. Wisdom does not arrive overnight. You swallow advice again and again, and only later realize it shaped you. The words grating on my ears now may be the pillar that holds me up years from now.

If someone gave you hard words today, do not defend — just weigh, "Is there truth in it?"
This verse is read as universal humanistic wisdom, not religion — no faith is promoted, and the reflection is 100% original ONGO content.
