In II Timothy 2:15, Paul told Timothy to study to show himself approved unto God. There is great wisdom out there, ready to be apprehended by those who love it. However, one needs discipline to learn new things. Learning is a marathon process. Most things take days, weeks, months, or even years to learn. One must submit to a consistent didactic process, line upon line, precept upon precept in order to attain mastery in an area (Isaiah 28: 10, 13). In Proverbs 12:1, the Proverbist said that it is stupid to hate correction. The diligent accept instruction and correction, because they know it is beneficial to them and their future. The ignorant person will reject instruction and correction. The ignorant are doomed to always remain ignorant. Decide today to be like that diligent person who welcomes mentors in his/her life. They will rise to the top, while the willfully ignorant will remain in the same place all of their lives.
Proverbs 12:1 – To learn, you must love discipline; it is stupid to hate correction.
