Wise Guys

Wisdom is the Principle Thing

Wisdom is the principle thing. One of the greatest resources given to man is the book of Proverbs, which is rich in timeless principles for successful living. Proverbs has been called Life’s Little Instruction Book for Men.

Proverbs is a man writing to a man the kind of advice a father gives a son and a mentor gives his protege. In Wise Guys, Derek Draughon instructs us on five key principles that every man should implement into their lives:

Diligence – Prudence – Discretion – Words – Direction
