WISDOM OF THE WORLD

The tragedy of most people who seek to acquire education is that they acquire book knowledge without acquiring wisdom. Such people cannot be said to be truly educated because they end up doing things that even some illiterates would not do. To be truly wise is one of the greatest benefits to any human being.

Young people generally lack wisdom; this is why parents and guidance are always advising them. Happily, wisdom can be acquired by associating with the best minds, thoughts, and saying, which this world has produced and accumulated over the years. You will come across wisdom of the world from time to time as you read and learn from books. Look for it, take good note, and endeavour to benefit from this great heritage of mankind.

Wishing you the best of luck in your search for wisdom.
