Knowledge and Wisdom 知识和智慧

For anyone who desires to be successful, that person must have knowledge as well as wisdom.

A person can acquire knowledge through studying diligently. Over time, the person becomes educated with much information accumulated inside the brain. However, the person is not a wise person unless he or she is able to utilise such information relevantly. As a matter of fact, information can help people to become knowledgeable. But it is wisdom that enables people to decide relevantly and to discern ethically.

Therefore, a good education should not only provide opportunity for people to gather information until they are knowledgeable. It should also provide opportunity for the people to be innovative by utilising their knowledge appropriately. Any person who is full of information is just like an encyclopaedia. No encyclopaedia is really helpful unless somebody is able to utilise such available information for problem solving and the good of humanity.

In view of knowledge and information are so accessible today, it is high time for the educators to come up with avenue through which the learners are able to acquire knowledge as well as wisdom. Consequently, these people are knowledgeable and wise.

对于想要成功的人来说，那个人必须拥有知识又有智慧。

一个人可以通过勤奋学习获得知识。随着时间，这个人的脑海会累積了大量的资讯。但是，除非他能够適当地使用这些知识，否则这人便不是所谓有智慧的人。事实上，资讯可以帮助人们变得知识渊博。但是只有智慧才能使人做出合適的决定和在道德上有辨别的能力。

因此，良好的教育不仅仅是为了传递知识，使人知识渊博。它还应该啓發创作，促进人们能够有效的应用知识。如果一个人只有资讯，他不过如同百科全书。除非有人能够好好应用知识来解决问题和造福人类，即使一个人拥有如同百科全书的知识，也不定有什么具体的用处。

鉴于今天很容易就可以獲得知识或资讯，教育工作者必须能够提出途径以便学习者能够同时获得知识和智慧，以致他们能够成为即有知识又有智慧的人。

I like using fig leaves to remind me to have authentic knowledge and wisdom. First man and first woman used fig leaves to be skirts was a bad choice as fig leaves are not big and they could cause allergy.
我喜欢用無花果叶提醒自己要有真正的知识和智慧。第一对男女用無花果叶子作裙子不是好的决定因为这种叶子不大，又可能造成皮肤敏感。
