This proverb similar to the person that you know always talks the most, or says the least. Isn’t it funny how we often will ask for advice, be it dating advice, from friends that don’t have good relationships, we ask business advice from those that do not have business success, etc. We now have “life coaches” that are in the 20s giving life advice for a living, and although they may have some good wisdom, there is no teacher as having experience.
So be careful who you ask advice from and from those that freely give it!
