To evaluate wisdom, people use a myriad of different metrics depending on the context of the measurement. Yet, of all the possible measurements of wisdom, one that categorically does NOT provide an accurate measurement is the degree to which the wise person is happy.

People talking, writing, acting without knowledge and with no desire to get knowledge. They

CHAPTER TWO Ecclesiastes 1:4 "Everything an Indian does is in a circle," said Black Elk, the Sioux religious leader. "Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood...."

Having qualified my answer somewhat, I must endorse the principles put forth in the quotation. Overlooking -- or, perhaps, forgetting

We are the young people comare our ancestors. By Smith’s argument, he thinks young people have more wisdom than their ancestors because we know what our ancestors know; and we know what our ancestors don’t know, such as technology. But do we really have more wisdom than our ancestors? I don’t think so. Wisdom is some thing that cannot exsists without real life experiences. Noble is a kond of wisdom. People who know more seems “smarter” than those people who know less. But on the other hand, without

Dirk Büchener, my professor spoke with so much passion explaining a verse suggested by a student and this grabbed my attention. That day was the day when I first opened my Bible App on my phone. Little did I know that a book so small held so much wisdom.

Proverbs give short and understandable advice about how we should live our lives. Sometimes two proverbs can be contradictory but also gives good advice. While the first quote (“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise”) suggests a life that is calm, regular, and controlled, the second proverb (“Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we may die”) suggests a so called “YOLO”, you only live once, approach to life. The first proverb, “Eat drink and be merry” comes from the
