Smart enough to know just how little you do know. I also think realizing that everyone lives in their own truth is a big revelation to have.

How do you personally define wisdom?
Wisdom is having the good sense to keep your mouth shut and your ears open; and to know when to do each.
Reply:It is the ability to know when to shut up! Many people are so wise they feel they must share thier wisdom with the world. The world is smarter than we give it credit for, sit back and just watch, you will learn much more than telling everyone what you think!
Reply:Knowing that everyone possesses some wisdom. Then taking what everyone has to offer in wisdom and sorting it, is a big step. Feeling comfortable in your own acquired self-wisdom is important but remaining open to other people%26#039;s wisdom is important too.
Reply:%26quot;Wisdom%26quot; is practical knowledge, not intelligence. It is a %26quot;learnt%26quot; faculty because it only comes through experience.
Reply:WISDOM is knowing to apply the KNOWLEDGE we possess

I also share Osho`s view, that the knowledge you have once aquired serves to boost your ego. Wisdom is needed to help you get rid of this ego.





At a certain moment you have so much knowledge, that you have to systematize and classify it. You need wisdom to achieve that task, accentuating on the most important aspects and getting rid of the details. So, in my opinion, wisdom helps you make use of your knowledge, analyse it, and take advantage of the lessons you have learned after classifing all the information.
