Mishlei 10:13 - The Crossroads on the Path to Becoming a Creative Thinker

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (2/1/21 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT, broadcasting from Seattle due to a snow storm in NY) we learned one of those pesukim in which the two halves seem to have nothing to do with each other. On top of that, the pasuk contained technical jargon of the most difficult variety: "knowledge words" (i.e. navon, chochmah, chasar leiv). And yet, with our usual Monday Night Mishlei teamwork, we were able to arrive at several nice ideas, with a lot of methodology along the way. And in a way, our pasuk was about methodology and the type of courage it takes to make progress in one's development as a thinker.
