    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.

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

    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

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

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

    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.

    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.)
