Can a fool help you succeed? The answer to that controversial question is a big YES if you will let them. A wise man said, ' I learn from two groups of people from the wise and from the foolish, I learn from the wise to be wiser and I learn from the foolish not to be foolish'. Mark Twain said, 'Let us thank God for fools if not most of us would not have been wise'. Here are eight ways you can be helped up the ladder of success by a fool
1. Fools talk before they think which usually gets them into trouble making them lots of enemies, the lesson is to think before you talk for your words will determine whether you are wise or foolish.
2 Fools waste time on trivial things, the lesson is to invest your time wisely for the use of your time will determine one's financial destiny. The rich spend money to save them time, the poor waste time to save money. I have never seen a rich man who is not conscious of his time, I have not seen a poor man who is.
3 A fool makes everyone his friend, a wise man is careful of his choice of friends because where a man or woman will be in five years will be determined by the books he or she reads and the company he or she keeps. Friends are like the buttons on an elevator that takes us up or brings us down.
4 A fool always believes he or she is right but a wise man or woman believes that he or she may wrong on certain issues.
5 A fool has no goals, targets or priorities, but a wise man sets targets for himself for a missed target set is better than no target at all. Living without a goal makes one drift about like a goat
6 A fool is envious about the success of others, if you must succeed respect the accomplishments of others for what you respect is what you will attract. You can never learn from someone you envy or resent but one you admire.
7 A fool desires everything but is not ready to pay any price, the lesson to be learned that nothing of value is ever free. For every prize in life there is a price to be paid even freedom is not free.
8 A fool does not pursue worthy counsel, if you must succeed you need the help of other creative and matured minds for no man makes it alone.
PONDER ON THESE AND PASS IT ON
