Knowledge Is Like A Garden,
If It Is Not Cultivated,
It Can Not Be Harvested

For an example if you were creating a garden and if you didn't have knowledge you wouldn't know what to do or how to do it. Another example is if you you were to do a Mathat skool an your teacher gives you an assignment you would need knowledge to complete the lesson

'The Fool Speaks ,The Wise Person Listens'


I think that this proverb means you should be a leader not a follower becuase if you follow the wrong person you do the wrong thing and get involved in the wrong activity.
And you should be a leader becuase you will suceed in doing the rite thing.
I also think this proverb means if somebody tell you something you don't have to do it expecially if you no it's wrong.

Yes, I think we do this in our everyday life. It happens once in a while, it's just that you have to make your own desicions most of the time. Also, I think the phrase ''The fool speaks the wise person listens'' it almost sounds like the fool speaks and persuades the wise person to follow what ever the fool has instructed

It Is Better To Be Loved Than Feared



I think it is better to be to be Loved than Feared becuase, if your feared no one will want to come around you or talk to you they'll just stay as far away as they can.
I think it is better to be loved becuase you'll have alot of friends and alot of respect from your family and friends.
I beleive being feared is a good and a bad thing, the good thing about it is no one will try to act tough and pick on you.
Whats bad about it is that people will fear you and talk about you when your not around.


For an example if i'm feared and i'm walking down the hallway and if some1 see's me they'll run away and hide or they might just stare at me an start shaking or something.
And if i was loved if i walk down the street they'llsay hi or hello and say ''how was your day''.
