Wisdom Part 4
Wisdom
Week 4
“The doors of wisdom are never shut.” Benjamin Franklin, inventor, author, diplomat and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America
Translation for Adults
The pursuit of wisdom is a continual process; it does not stop at a certain age because there is always more to learn. The greatest martial artists will tell you that the longer they train, the more they must learn and master. Life is very much the same. Do not be close-minded! Close the doors of wisdom and you’ll deny yourself all the opportunities that life has to offer.
Remember, you can learn from anyone: a young child, a bothersome co-worker, an unfriendly neighbor and the villain in a story. Keep you eyes and mind open, so you take advantage of every opportunity to obtain more wisdom. You’ll never have enough!
Translation for Kids
You must learn everyday of your life. There is always more knowledge. There is always more wisdom that will help you grow and realize your dreams. Don’t assume you know everything about a topic in school just because you’ve heard the teacher present that topic before. Listen to your younger brother or sister when they want to explain what they’ve learned in school. You already passed that grade, but that doesn’t mean you learned everything. If you’re wise, then you’ll learn from what your brother or sister is saying. You must also have the right attitude to become wiser. When you close your mind, you stop growing. Just because you’re older and earn excellent grades in school, doesn’t mean you can stop learning. Knowledge is all around you. Look for it and learn from it whenever possible.
