MY THURSDAY THOUGHT FOR THE - Do you know the difference between knowledge and wisdom?  First of all – most people say a hundred times a day – I know this, and I know that – blah blah blah.  Trust me very little of what you think you know is really true.  I’d love to ask a politician, a weather person or physician this simple question when they say anything - how do you know that?  And you know what they would say – they would just give me more reasons or opinions to validate their words.  It’s simple folks - knowing is superficial and temporary – wisdom blends a degree of knowledge with, experience, information, insight, discernment, education, and history.  Much of what you think you know and act as if you know is nothing but conjecture or your opinion. What we thought we knew about travel, medicine, technology, etc. 2000 years ago is a lot different than what we know today.  And what we will know 100 years from today will be a lot different than what is true today.  Here’s the basic problem – most people become attached to what they think they know is true and then they let it define them. I’ll close with a quick question – in the past several years have you changed an opinion about anything because of new information, experience or education?  I rest my case.
