The Bible’s Proverbs
27:17 has been turned into a cliche in the sports world and rightfully so, there’s an inherent, simple truth in it. It has been put on the back of t-shirts, it has been bandied about by any manner of coaches. It reads most poetically, as many verses do, in the King James version: “Iron sharpeneth iron, so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.” Great players make other players around them better. But that isn’t enough. Both the iron that’s sharpening and the iron being sharpened have to be united in a common goal. They have to want to sharpen each other.
