| | To a studious person, knowledge may easily accumulate within years; to a shrewd person, tactics and strategies may develop after pitfalls. Yet, it is only to a person with good attitude that knowledge and strategies can be applied wisely, and this type of people will often admit the more he learns about life, the less he really knows.
A person with wisdom is probably quite intelligent and knowledgeable, but intelligence and knowledge won’t necessarily lead a person to wisdom. Like Einstein said, “Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the life-long attempt to acquire it.”
There are many people who haven’t received much education that show wisdom in living. They do not develop theory models like many scholars do, but they do know how to choose wise ways to live a fuller life. Interestingly, I think it somehow relates to one's attitude.
I believe we can choose to do anything with a good attitude. By selecting a good attitude, we can be kept from being too self-seeking which might lead to calamities. Besides, a good attitude may also rebuild our resiliency from past failures.
There have been many quotations about wisdom, yet I found Proverbs of the Bible probably covered most . After all, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” ~ Proverbs 9:10....of course, it requires a good attitude to know the Lord, too.
