Wisdom, defined

Wisdom is not about how good your grades are or what college you go to. Getting all A's at Harvard doesn't mean you are a wise person. You don't have wisdom if you rise to the top of a corparation. If you rise to the top of your company you work for it means you are a hard worker and must be pretty good at your job.

Wisdom is something else. No test can tell if you have wisdom. You can not study wisdom. Wisdom is something that people have when they have been through a lot. That's why everyone thinks old people have wisdom because they have been on this world longer and have seen and been through so much. Having wisdom doesn't necessisarly mean you have to be old. You can go through a lot at a younger age to have wisdom. I think everyone is wise. Everyone has been through something that someone hasn't before and they know how to handle that situation. So in some situations everyone can have wisdom.

If i would consider anyone wise it would have to be my dad. He is 35 years old. I consider him wise because any problem or situation i come by he has an answer for. It seems like he has lived my life and some. No matter what question i ask my dad he will always have an answer for me. Every piece of advice he has given me has never let me down. No matter who i meet in this world my dad will still be the wisest person i know
