The proverbs of fools

As snow in summer,and as rain in harvest ,so honour is not seemly for a fool.
As the bird by wandering,as the swallow by flying,so the curse cause less shall not come.
A whip for the horse,a bridle for the ass,and a rod for the fool's back.
Answer not a fool according to his folly,lest thou also be like unto him.
Answer a fool according to his folly,lest he be wise in his own conceit.
He that sends a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet,and drinketh damage.
The legs of the lame are not equal:so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
As he that bindeth a stone in a sling,so is he that giveth honor to a fool.
As a dog returns to his vomit,so does a fool returneth to his folly.
As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard,so does parables in the mouth of fools.
                 Proverbs 26!

Cutting corners!

When dealing with computer aided geometric design,de Rham's Insection algorithm,Chaikin's algorithm,degree raising of B-form,knot-insertion for splines applied to the convergence of corner cutting,they say,always work but when handling real issues of life,that has to do with achieving goals,it always blows up in our faces.

Cutting corners, defined by several dictionaries and schools of thought ,mean no good.

Remember anything worth doing is worth doing well!

Cutting corners can be defined as doing something perfunctorily to save money on time.

Cambridge dictionary defines cutting corners as doing something in the easiest,cheapest or fastest way,often ,ignoring every sign of caution.
Urban dictionary defines cutting corners as doing something with less than the appropriate amount of care.
Cutting corners in nursing,has been characterized as violation and threat to patient's safety. In their conclusions,the study found that cutting corners,created gaps that contributed to unfinished care and adverse events,that would have been avoided.
Cutting corners can only come from insecurity.Insecurity leads to unwise thoughts and destructive questions as ;

'My mates are doing so well so quickly.I am afraid,if I am not fast,I won't make it on time!"
'Why do I have to spend so much on this quality,when I can spend less for more quantity?'
'What is the point of waiting on the queue,when I can go through the back door?"

Forgetting that these short-cuts and corners are dark and uncertain.An accountant would often describe cutting corners as 'penny wise,pound foolish'.


I define risks in terms of wisdom and foolishness.
Taking the risk of going through a longer route but the right one,is what I can define as a wise risk.

Now,taking risk as such as going through the back door of many things in life,one can define as taking a foolish risk.

Another factor that contributes to people cutting corners is impatience.
Patience,they say,is a special virtue,it takes a special grace to be patient.
Impatience works side by side with anger.As we cut corners,because of impatience,blinded by anger coated with pride,we don't see the danger in front of us.
We drive into the danger and what awaits us there is our doom!
Let's do away with the habit of cutting corners,it leads us to nothing but danger and doom!

How a winner faces failure!

A winner understands he needs to fail at something to know what works for him,in order to succeed in everything!
He looks failure in the face and doesn't react badly,because he understands failure is only temporary.
He interprets failure to mean a setback,that something is re-aligning him for far greater opportunity!
He understands the period he failed,is the only period he will ever fail,so he makes use of the spare time to learn more about himself,discover other skills and appreciate inventions,yet another opportunity to gain power,for knowledge is power!
He doesn't get worried,he fixes what was wrong,so he is not left behind!
He dresses himself as a warrior; a helmet of determination,a spear of faith,a pair of persistent boots,an armor of resilience and clothes of expectation,understanding that against all odds of failure,he must succeed,even if it means,he has to try severally!
