Once a person asked me, "What is the difference between intelligence and wisdom, do not they allude to the same power of our cognitive mind?".
I gave not the answer then, for I knew not.
That was then.I have become wiser, and hence I know. Intelligence is born, not made, whereas wisdom is made and cultured. One can see many an intelligent child, but not a wise one, for wisdom is only for the aged. The old persist, but the young withers. One is born intelligent, but to garner wisdom, one has to go through the tough road of experience and gather the fruits of the old.
"But how do we become wise?", another asked.I answered, "By going through the road of experience and gathering the fruits of the old. We listen to wise men speak, we soak things from the experience of others, for we may not live long enough to experience all things in a lifetime, yet we must know of them."
Yes, one may not live long enough to experience all things himself, for we are of the mortal race.

Yes indeed. When you die, and come alive again, you will surely appreciate life as I do now.
Glad

experience is the mother of wisdom..
"By going through the road of experience and gathering the fruits of the old. We listen to wise men speak, we soak things from the experience of others, for we may not live long enough to experience all things in a lifetime, yet we must know of them."
