The older I get, I know the wiser I am becoming. But then, I thought what exactly is wisdom and how do I explain wisdom?
So, I looked up the definition of wisdom:
“Wisdom is the ability to think and act using knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense and insight.
In short, wisdom is a disposition to find the truth coupled with an optimum judgment as to what actions should be taken.
Wisdom and knowledge have different meanings, but are often portrayed as synonyms.
This is corrected by giving an example:

it's wise to run a successful business because wisdom includes action. It's nothing more than smart to write a business plan proposing a successful business because knowledge is strictly cognitive.
The difference in knowledge is knowing it; wisdom is doing it.”

Some of the synonyms of wisdom:
experience, knowledge, balance, discernment, clear thinking, good judgment, horse sense, and sageness
Perhaps, this is why the older we get, the wiser we can get – because we live life – we don't just gain knowledge but we do things and take action.
My husband and I are reading books on how to be successful and rich and we realize that it is not just important to read them, but to apply them to our lives.
This is what I appreciate about WA, with the training course and the community, we are learning by 'knowing how' but also by 'doing the actions' in our journey to success.
