Wisdom Part 2
Wisdom
Week 2
“Knowledge is the process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification.”
Martin Fischer
Translation for Adults
It’s one thing to acquire much knowledge and information. It’s another thing to use that knowledge and information effectively. You absorb knowledge, regularly, from books, magazines, newspapers, television, the Internet, your interactions with others and throughout the course of everyday life. Wisdom is knowing how to use what you’ve learned. It’s the ability to apply all you’ve learned to your life. It is a
never-ending process of sifting through all that information and knowledge, discarding what is worthless and finding what is really useful.
During the next couple of days, start to analyze the recent knowledge and information you’ve acquired to find those gems of wisdom that can make your life better.
Translation for Kids
You will acquire more knowledge and information, as you grow older and continue your education. You will learn facts and ideas in your language, math, history and science classes.
Someday, you may attend college and learn even more knowledge. The benefit of wisdom is using that knowledge, wisely. Review everything you learn to learn how to use it. Someday, you may have to defend yourself. You would not have time to use every self-defense technique you’ve learned. You must learn how to pick the exact knowledge you need to defend yourself, quickly. Wisdom is also separating your knowledge into usable pieces. You can then apply those pieces to specific situations. You’ll make the right decisions. You’ll do the right thing. You will be wise!
