The Scholar with Correction

I read the name of this typewriter and knew I would write a blog post about it.  Most times, it's the little things that inspire me.  

This vintage, electric typewriter is at the virtual living estate sale we are doing.  If you want to see other items still available and new ones I'll be listing tonight, click on the link in the side bar or here:  Town Hall Trinkets On Line Estate Sales 

Social media, no matter the platform, has created a "scholar" out of many.  Giving a voice to anyone who is an "expert," in a hobby, farming, gardening, baking, junking, creating and their knowledge in that area, makes them a "scholar."  You may not agree with the term "scholar" for these "influencers," but they are.

I found this quote interesting....that's all I'll say....

"Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid"  Proverbs 12:15

Accepting correction is hard.  Children often pout, become sassy, stomp, cross their arms even run away when faced with correction.  Teenagers rebel, explore, experiment, make mistakes all while fleeing correction.  Adults, fight, seperate, divorce, quit, sue, move all while avoiding correction.  This is just a simple reflection, however, it's a wise person who can accept correction.  

We each have areas we are "scholars" in.  Let's study to gain knowlege, improve ourselves and be willing to accept life's corrections along the way.  

I try to moderate myself in words of correction as they don't taste so good served as seconds.  Just little things I think about.
