Proverbs 1: 7 - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Ref: Life Application Study Bible
One of the most annoying types of people is a know-it all, a person who has a dogmatic opinion about everything and who is closed to anything new. Solomon calls this kind of person a fool. Don't be a know-it all. Instead, be open to the advice of others, especially those who know you well and can give valuable insight and counsel. Learn how to learn from others. Remember, only God knows it all.
In this age of information, knowledge is plentiful, but wisdom is scarce. Wisdom means far more than simply knowing a lot. It is a basic attitude that affects every aspect of life. The first step to wisdom is to "fear the Lord", to honor and respect God, to live in awe of His power. Faith in God should be the foundation for your understanding of the world, your attitudes and your actions. Trust in God and he will make you truly wise.
