text: Furthermore, knowing the mindsets of others can help as you can see whos advice is good and whos advice isn't so good. To demonstrate a man needs to fix his pipe as it is leaking, but the plumbers are already busy helping some other people. The man asks his friends for what he should do, receiving different answers from each person. His first friend tells him to stop the leaking in the meanwhile with twine, his second friend tells him to use a cloth and put tape over the cloth to keep it there, and his last friend tells him to use lasagna while he and is family laugh in the background. From then the man can conclude that his first friend isn't that bright, his second friend is a pretty smart guy, and that his third friend is quite jester. While he clearly knew who had the best answer he, if he had more friends could've used the third reason to great advantage.
