It is our chosen path in life that leads to success, not the destination. Pride and arrogance is the root of all failure, and many more beautiful ideas.

Solomon probes the relationship between man's attempts at success and God's direction. He then discusses the true test of a leader or King.

The wise person thinks before she speaks. To be successful one needs to listen to advice from others, and awe of God leads to humility, learning and life.

A wise and person brings peace to the conversation, while a wicked man raises the temperature. Spread wisdom, not lies. Spread love, not strife. If you are happy with what you have, you will be happy every day of your life. If you are not satisfied with what you have, you will be sad forever.

It is righteousness and charity that makes a country great, leaders should choose competent officers, and many other words of wisdom from Solomon.

Only a person who lived an experience truly understands what he or she feels. A fool will believe anything you tell him. The good person's seeks reward in good itself.

You will be influenced by the company that you keep, a good man is rewarded with more opportunities to do good, and many more wise teachings of Solomon.

All difficulties between people are a result of our arrogance and inability to listen humbly and admit our mistakes. Our suffering will come from the very things we didn't take seriously.

The wise person limits his speech, seeks counsel humbly from others, and doesn't broadcast his grievances.

Accepting criticism is the key to growth. One who seeks only reassurance to continue living a life built on lies, will build a house of cards. One who seeks truth, will built something that lasts.
