Why Proverbs was written

The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel
*for attaining wisdom and discipline;
*for understanding words of insight;
*for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life,
*doing what is right and just and fair;
*for giving prudence to the simple
*knowledge and discretion to the young
*let the wise listen and add to their learning
*let the discerning get guidance
*for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise.
Proverbs 1:1-6

Though I've read the book of Proverbs many times, I never noticed these six verses right in the beginning!
And then it gives you a reminder/exhortation before you start reading.

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom discipline." Proverbs 1:7
