Harder still, for me, is applying what meager wisdom I have picked up to new situations in which I find myself (though I find I'm brilliant at passing my hard-earned wisdom on to others). :-)<br /><a href="http://minalobo.blogspot.com/" rel="Mina Lobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10173895884776280826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171670007828382529.post-30141065023552111762013-06-03T15:11:33.973-05:002013-06-03T15:11:33.973-05:00That Socrates quote says it all.That Socrates quote says it all.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680066584646789184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171670007828382529.post-89274976760617269232013-06-03T14:41:28.802-05:002013-06-03T14:41:28.802-05:00I agree that wisdom is about knowing how you and t...I agree that wisdom is about knowing how you and the world around you work, and being able to make sound decisions based on knowledge. <br /><br />I've seen many people of some intelligence act without wisdom because they think that the two are the same thing. They usually aren't.

I think the only way we can grow as people is always be open to learning new things and seeing new perspectives - but like you say, we have to assimilate them with our own selves.
