Wisdom

Nov 5 · 1 min read

Wisdom is more than mere intelligence. There are plenty of intelligent fools.

Wisdom is the ability to make sound decisions.

It involves empathy and compassion.

It involves real world experience.

It involves imagination.

It involves the ability to connect dots across multiple disciplines.

It involves the ability to break complex situations down into simple ways of understanding and application.

And above all, it involves self-knowledge and self-control.
