You have to discipline yourself to acquire knowledge, to be corrected is to learn the truth. Ignorance never likes being wrong, and of course they'll never be right.

My Bible says "Anyone who loves learning accepts correction, but a person who hates being corrected is stupid." The same thing I guess but I think it's very true as well!

It's in our nature to hate correction, but notice Hebrews 12 ; 11 where it states that dicipline isn't joyful but greivious, yet it afterwards to those who r trained by it , it yeilds peaceable fruit. We all make mistakes, but if we're intelligent and mature, we learn from them, but a stupid and hard hearted person doesn't care and will keep on making the same mistakes and thus will reap what they sow.

I love knowledge, but hate discipline. Correction isn't on my list of faves, either.

an intelligent person is the one who...... loves knowledge.... n practised all the knowledges.... even the person have very high knowledge but if he or she did not practised it.... useless isn't? eg. u know how to cook but you don't apply it on your own n even not teach other person how... useless.... n also they can accept the correction...if they not use to it.... they won't be able to know the truth...
