“Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who'll argue with you.” John Wooden

“As iron sharpens iron so one person sharpens another.” Prov.27

True friends are not afraid to argue. Their commitment is to the relationship not to being right. Differences do not need to divide us, for it is often in disagreement that we discover how to complement rather than compete with each other. A wise person learns the true value of friendship not only when people agree but also when they disagree with them. How can we learn anything if we surround ourselves with people who only share the same opinion?  Conversations Within” ts 7/20/2015
