Sam Levenson once said "It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it." No one ever spoke a truer statement about Wisdom. I am sure that Yogi Berra could have came up with a good one too.
What I typically find with people is the lack of wisdom. Oscar Wilde once said that he was not young enough to know it all. What I find appealing to that statement is the fact that people do not know the difference between being smart and being wise or having wisdom.
I once met a college gradutate that had 7 degrees from the school that they attended. And though this person had all this knowledge, they didn't know how to put any of it to use. This, to me, made them a very unwise person.

In life, all good things come hard,
