Wisdom & Intelligence A lot of times we talk about how smart people are. IQ... stuff like that. It's not only intelligence that gets us thru life. It's a mix of both intelligence and wisdom. It's like... people can get thru Uni. That's intelligence. Knowing the answers to questions. That's intelligence. But wisdom, is knowing to ask the right questions. The intelligent person may fix an issue. The wise person would ask, why do you need to fix that issue. Where is the real problem? No point fixing an issue to the wrong solution. This is highly related to critical thinking. The ability to look a bit further and dig a bit deeper into any topic. How many people we know who get thru tertiary education, to end up lost in life? There are folks who don't study well, but still able to get far in life. It's not about one or the other. It's having a good mix of both.
