Advice For Success

by | Jan 17, 2009 | 0 comments

People who despise advice will find themselves in trouble;
those who respect it will succeed.
If you ignore criticism you will end in poverty and disgrace;
if you accept criticism, you will be honored. Proverbs 13:13, 18 NLT
If you listen to constructive criticism,
you will be at home among the wise.
If you reject criticism, you only harm yourself
but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding. Proverbs 15:31,32 NLT

Teaching our grandchildren to accept advice and criticism will be to their benefit. Those who accept guidance and correction will be successful in their studies and their employment.  Those who are unwilling to accept correction only hurt themselves.

Pray that your grandchildren will accept and respect advice from their parents, teachers, and those in authority over them so they will be prepared for the workplace.  Pray that the influential adults in their lives will bless them with constructive, not negative, criticism.
