It might seem presumptuous to present myself as wise, much less wise in business. However, over the years, through the successes and failures of my experiences in business, non-profit leadership and consulting, I have learned a great deal.
My view of knowledge is that it grows like a sphere. As a sphere expands, the surface grows at an even greater rate. I consider the surface to be my contact with the world of what I don't know. It is amazing to me just how much there is available to learn, and how small my current level of knowledge is as a result.
My view if wisdom, however is a little different. Wisdom is like a precious jewel. While it may not be of tremendous size, it is of great value. We will know a lot, but in general we will only be wise in a few things. This wisdom we have is to be treasured and protected. It cannot be allowed to become dull or dirty, or it will cease to serve its purpose.
I hope you will take the time to share your wisdom here with me and others often, and take the time to critique the comments on Wisdom that are made here.
