“Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice” (Proverbs 13:10, NIV)

I WAS traveling to London on business for the first time. After landing at Heathrow airport, I headed for the ATM to get local currency. As I worked my way through the menu options, the machine asked, “Do you wish to receive advice?”
