Here are some contrary Proverbs

Wise men think alike.
but...
Fools seldom differ.

You're never too old to learn.
but...
You can't teach an old dog new tricks.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
but...
One man's meat is another man's poison.

The pen is mightier than the sword.
but...
Actions speak louder than words

Practice makes perfect.
but...
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Contrasting Proverbs teach us an important lesson : Everything is situational and things need to be seen in right perspective.
 
Ability to see the things in right perspective and arrive at right conclusions is what distinguishes the winners from also rans.

Ability to see the things in right perspective and arrive at right conclusions is called vision
 
"Vision without action is a daydream and Action without vision is a nightmare."
 
      Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.
 

Vision without Action is Delusion!

visionless will find controversial in right vs wrong but in nature noting is wrong and right, just our behaviour make it feel right and wrong in relative to  objective not subjective
