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.
