The Wisdom Priciple by Deepak Chopra (obviously) isn't exclusively tied into the real estate profession, but I do very much appreciate his statements about how becoming wise is directly contributed to the desire to be totally real, or to always be seeking the absolute reality of everything you encounter.
-- "The opposite of "real" is "illusory," and many external forces influence us to choose illusion over reality. They hold out a false sense of happiness rooted in money, possessions, and status, for example, and tell us that they best way to avoid the painful side of life is to devote hours to various distractions." --
Wisdom leads to wise choices, and here there is a pattern that marks the seekers of wisdom
Wise Choices
The decisions that shape a conscious life
When you are afraid and anxious, don’t trust the voice of fear.
When you are in a chaotic situation, find a way to bring order and calm.
When faced with an angry conflict, make no decision until the anger has subsided.
When meeting resistance to your ideas, consider the viewpoint of those who resist you.
When you are tempted to condemn someone else, see if what you hate in them is hidden away in yourself.
When you are in trouble, decide if the situation is one you should put up with, try to fix, or walk away. Having decided, act accordingly.
When you know the truth, speak up for it.
