What Do They Know?

  Enzo Ferrari felt he made a pretty good car.  So when a customer had a complaint about a weak clutch in one of his high-end sports cars, he was a bit miffed. What did he know! The customer in question worked on tractors!  Ferrari responded to the man, “You may be able to drive a tractor but you will never be able to handle a Ferrari properly."

  So that customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini, decided to make an even better car, the perfect car in his mind.  He made his first production car in 1964, the 350 GTV. Today that particular car can go for $300,000 at auction.

  Maybe the tractor guy did know a thing or two…

  It is easy when we have people point out faults to dismiss what they say. They don’t know what I know. They have not been in my shoes. Who do they think they are? While there is a lot of undue criticism, we would be foolish to think that there isn't something we can be doing better.

A scoffer does not love one who reproves him, He will not go to the wise.

Proverbs 15:12

  Too many times people have the way to make their life better right in front of them but let their pride block progress. When someone tells us something is wrong we need to ask ourselves are they right before we start to figure out what is wrong with them.
