What’s my attitude toward instructions?<\/p>\n

If I can figure out the matter on my own, do I need to be instructed?<\/p>\n

I suppose it depends on what “the matter” is. If it has to do with operating our push mower, I think I can do it without instructions. But if it has to do with flying our radio controlled helicopter, I’d better check the instructions first.<\/p>\n

Fine. But what is my overall attitude toward being told?<\/p>\n

And what attitude have my children grown up with?<\/p>\n

“A wise son heareth his father’s instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke”<\/font><\/b> (1).<\/p>\n
