Ecclesiastes 11:4 Revised Standard Version 4 He who observes the wind will not sow; and he who regards the clouds will not reap.
I think it's safe to say when an instructor begins his class with words from Solomon, you can probably be prepared for wise counsel.
Solomon is a writer in the Old Testament and was an incredibly wealthy and wise king. His fame in the Old Testament is only rivaled by his father, David, who defeated a mighty giant, Goliath. Many people use the book of Proverbs for life decisions and directions.
NAA Instructor, Auctioneer, and farmer, Mark Manley from Georgia, opened his presentation to CAI Class III at the Indiana University Alumni Hall with the above 3000 +/- year old writing. It was a refreshing start to my day and a thought provoking idea.
He began his thoughts related to work ethic. What do you do with your day?

Wise counsel always points you in the right direction. I'll challenge you with another writing from Solomon found in Proverbs 15:22 "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed." Coming from the wisest counsel in the world, I think that my/our/your future plans, whatever they are, should be considered with a trusted team. Trusted advisors can steer you in the right direction.
Congratulations to the 2019 CAI Class. Don't let the clouds in the sky get in the way of your future!
