Christian Real Estate Professionals : Fran's Friday Forum...Intelligence VS Wisdom...!!!

Fran's Friday Forum...Intelligence VS Wisdom...!!!

An accumulation of wealth...!!!This post is a good 'Lenten' exercise for everyone...!!!  

I have met people who said that their whole goal in life is the 'accumulation of wealth'...I have known people who can't acquire enough knowledge as if 'the one with the highest IQ wins'...  

At one time, I myself fell somewhere between those two ideologies...!!!  

And then I discovered the difference between Intelligence and Wisdom...  

Now there is nothing wrong with WEALTH...And there is nothing wrong with INTELLIGENCE or KNOWLEDGE...BUT...  

Simply stated...both goals rely on the SELF...whereas WISDOM involves a source which is not only very reliable, but inerrant...incapable of error...  

Wealth, can be very volatile, especially as we have witnessed it over the past 5 years...  

Intelligence...always falls short...tomorrow, there will be some knowledge discovered that we don't know today...  

But WISDOM...aaaaahh...!!!  

Wisdom, like its author...lasts forever...!!!   

Seat of Wisdom...Pray for us...!!! Have a great weekend...!!!

P.S.

Quote #1: "Early to bed, early to rise, make a man healthy, wealthy, and wise."  B. Franklin

Quote of the day: "Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."    Texas A & M contest winner...!!!

Nice post.  I've seen that quote a few times and I find it to be hilarious.

Fran - intelligence, without wisdom, is like a bicycle without a chain. Have never found the clean end of the turd. But, when I clean up the dog doo, the best that I can hope for is that it is hard.

Fran,

Sort of like the fastest gun in the west philsophy - there's always someone faster or better coming along. :)
