Proverbs 27:17 – As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
It is a wonderful thing to have a friend with whom you can sharpen your mind. You can discuss certain things with him or her with real profit. There is nothing like a friend who you can sit down and talk about spiritual matters. You will always come away refreshed and strengthened, and I always learned something. It’s a wonderful to have a friend like that.
Mental sharpness comes from being around good people. And a meeting of minds can help people see their ideas with new clarity, refine them, and shape them into brilliant insights. This requires discussion partners who can challenge one another and stimulate thought-people who focus on the idea without involving their egos in the discussion; people who know how to attack the thought and not the thinker. Two friends who bring their ideas together can help each other become sharper.
Proverbs 27:18 He who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who looks after his master will be honored.
With all the problems and concerns a leader has, it can be easy to overlook the very people who most deserve attention-faithful employees or volunteers (those who tend the fig trees). The people who stand behind you, who work hard and help you get the job done, deserve to share in your success. Be sure that in all your worrying, planning, and organizing, you don’t forget the people who are helping you the most.
