Proverbs have always proven useful for people of all ages over the years. We must always thank all those old wise men, who continue to pass their wisdom to their oh-not-so-wise successors. Wise are those great old men who have realized the worth of the next generation even before we came into existence. But then there are those exceptions, like me, who take up the task of passing on the legendary wisdom to the under-privileged. And that is why I come before you again, this time to pass on the great wisdom with a slight amount of modifications, which I was compelled to make. These, people, are the proverbs of the future! The proverbs that are not only going make you wise, but also give you loads of opportunity to GRoW while you still have the chance..!! :)
