Wisdom, a word too far away from us. This has always been a word used for capable people with lofty ideals, and it is too far away from us. In life, who does not desire to be a wise person?
Because we have wisdom, we can understand the world, cultivate human feelings, advance and retreat freely, and stand up calmly; If you want wisdom, you must not be afraid of failure. Wisdom towers over the ruins of folly.
Now, we may not be able to reach the height of wisdom. But we should constantly improve ourselves and strive to get closer to that height. The wisdom of man, the source of happiness. Don’t miss out on real happiness because of short-term useless enjoyment.
Only with these conditions can we create a wise life with wisdom! So, how can we become such a person?
