Wisdom
What is wisdom? Do you know? The Oxford Language definition of wisdom is: the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment. How long does it take to develop wisdom? Is it a month, a year, a lifetime? I honestly don’t know, and hoping those who are reading this could shed some light.
I have been very fortunate to be mentored by many wise individuals and I learned that the ones who claim to know the least, possess the most wisdom and the ones who claim to know the most tend to lack wisdom. What does that tell us?
I think it means the path to wisdom is to understand what we don’t know, and that we always have a lot to learn regardless of how much we do know. By always having a student mentality allows us to gain wisdom and see things from multiple perspectives; as a teacher, practitioner, and a student. Then one could use their experiences of learning to teach others which, I believe, helps us to be wiser.
Do you agree? What do you think?
