Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 10, 2018

Hmm, like being a Congressional intern.

It would seem that true wisdom is a pain in the a$$.

Wisdom is knowing without doing. Learning from others. And most of all be humble, arrogance just ticks people off.

You can see why so few have it.

Night-Gaunt……To your first post. You know how some people barge into a new job like they’re experts? Pissing people off? I’ve had a lot more luck at a new job when I tell them I’m the new O.I.C. guy. When they ask me what that is, I tell them, the people who actually know how to do the job right, tell me how and I say, “Oh, I see”……You’d be surprised how well it works……A little honest humility can go a long way…..

The Literal Guru!

The strong man never says, “I am strong”nor the wise man, “I am wise.”

And yes, we accept PayPal.

One of my favorite quotes and way too little practiced by most of us:

In seeking wisdom, the first step is silence, the second listening, the third remembering, the fourth practicing, the fifth — teaching others. Ibn Gabirol, poet and philosopher (c. 1022-1058)

Here’s one of my fav quotes:

Beware the man who seeks knowledge, discovers it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is insanely jealous of those who have come by their ignorance the easy way.

- Bokonon

Nailed it.

I suppose if you were an old school Catholic self mortification would work.

WIsdom is turning off spell check.

Don’t forget giving tons of money to the non-materialistic teacher.

Or you can just blame everybody else and/or "circumstances. . .

I still agree with my old buddy Socrates who felt that wisdom was awareness of your own ignorance; e.g., how much there is you don’t know. Since he was forced to kill himself, he must have been on to something.

Boy, howdy!

True Wisdom is not making snide know – it – All comments….OOPS!……..

Is that a shadow of a starving talking praying mantis?

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it into your fruit salad.

Needs WAY more spikes.

(The more spikes you have, the less painful it is. I’m not totally stupid.)
