Who Do You Go To For Advice?

I have a belief that each person has their own talents and strengths and we can learn something from anyone. I do not believe that you should go to all people for any advice.

This is foolish to think for example a banker should advise a farmer on the seed to sow and when. A blacksmith to tell the investor when to buy or sell. The clergyman to tell the business owner what steps are necessary for the success of the business.

It is amazing though how people will seek after the uneducated advice and find they have failed as a result. It is a difficult thing to be a master in the field of practice you have decided to spend your blood sweat and tears in. Don't lose your course by going in the direction someone points you in who is well intentioned but uninformed.

Just to prove the point of roles here. You can learn small lessons about broad subjects from many roles. Taking advice from some roles would be like a Father going to his infant cousin and saying how do I be a good father? The infant cousin of this uncle can teach a great deal about being humble and meek like a child, but lacks the wisdom to give advice about how to lead and rear a family.

I am just saying if you desire good advice go to those who have the results you want and camp on their doorstep if necessary. Opinions are a cheap commodity, but sound advice will take some work and are valuable.
