However, fools are insecure about their knowledge and never really know quite what they should talk about. Therefore, they continuously talk to hide the fact that they don't have a good idea of what they are actually talking about. This proverb reveals that wise men have the ability to take in information and ideas and rarely have the need to speak if they can listen. In addition, wise men have the skill in which they are able to listen to advice from others and hear their ideas. Fools, on the other hand, believe that they always are right and have correct ideas. They will not accept anyone else's thoughts. This truth relates to the fact that wise men only speak because they really have something important to say. Fools speak because they HAVE to say something at times. ]]> 2016-11-04 13:12:55 UTC https://padlet.com/margaretou211_1/sc972k85s8as/wish/135359137 margaretou211_1 https://padlet.com/margaretou211_1/sc972k85s8as/wish/135616849 2016-11-06 17:24:52 UTC https://padlet.com/margaretou211_1/sc972k85s8as/wish/135616849 margaretou211_1 https://padlet.com/margaretou211_1/sc972k85s8as/wish/135616989 This picture is a perfect representation of the proverb "The fool speaks, the wise man listens". In the picture, the man with the large ear is supposed to represent the wise man who can listen. The man on the other side has small ear and has a large mouth in which he is talking excessively out of. ]]> 2016-11-06 17:26:42 UTC https://padlet.com/margaretou211_1/sc972k85s8as/wish/135616989 margaretou211_1 https://padlet.com/margaretou211_1/sc972k85s8as/wish/135618078 2016-11-06 17:40:47 UTC https://padlet.com/margaretou211_1/sc972k85s8as/wish/135618078 margaretou211_1 https://padlet.com/margaretou211_1/sc972k85s8as/wish/135618314 2016-11-06 17:43:52 UTC https://padlet.com/margaretou211_1/sc972k85s8as/wish/135618314 margaretou211_1 https://padlet.com/margaretou211_1/sc972k85s8as/wish/135618428 In this picture, the giraffe is meant to represent the wise man. The giraffe has large ears which are meant to show that it can listen. However, the bird in the picture produces sound and noise through it's singing. The bird therefore is supposed to represent the fool, who talks often and rarely listens.]]> 2016-11-06 17:45:24 UTC https://padlet.com/margaretou211_1/sc972k85s8as/wish/135618428 margaretou211_1 https://padlet.com/margaretou211_1/sc972k85s8as/wish/137131764 2016-11-12 13:37:05 UTC https://padlet.com/margaretou211_1/sc972k85s8as/wish/137131764 https://padlet.com/margaretou211_1/sc972k85s8as/wish/228729012 2018-02-06 17:18:05 UTC https://padlet.com/margaretou211_1/sc972k85s8as/wish/228729012 apatel112 https://padlet.com/margaretou211_1/sc972k85s8as/wish/276076515 "The fool speaks, the wise man listens" means that wise men have the ability to listen and interpret what people are saying.

To me, this is significantly showing how the wise man is listening to the fool and how the wise man will interpret the fool’s idea. The wise man will turn it into a reasonable idea. He is probably saying something smart to the fool, but he doesn’t know how he can make that into a million-dollar idea since he is a fool. ]]> 2021-04-26 17:50:38 UTC https://padlet.com/margaretou211_1/sc972k85s8as/wish/1460875535
