Just came across this poem, which has struck a chord with me. I am not a fan of poetry (at least English poetry), but I find this poem be very true and wise.
There are four types of people
He who knows not and knows not he knows not. He is a fool, shun him;
He who knows not and knows he knows not. He is simple, teach him;
He who knows and knows not he knows. He is asleep, wake him;
He who knows and knows he knows. He is wise, follow him!
There is one change that I would like to make to this poem. Do not follow wise people blindly. Even wise people can act like fools some times.
PS: I do not know who has written this poem. A Google search has also failed to return answers, although it suggested that this is in fact not a poem but the translation of an Arabic proverb. See, I told ya I am not a fan of poetry. :)
