The Difference Between Knowledge and Wisdom….

The difference between knowledge and wisdom is wisdom is the proper application of knowledge. Only time and experience can turn knowledge into wisdom. Our willingness to listen to those who possess wisdom will determine our progress. The problem with society today, particularly in education, is that students don’t feel the need for learning. They have all the answers right in their pocket, in the form of a cell phone. Why should they have to sit in a classroom and be forced to learn boring, irrelevant stuff? What people miss about education, about teachers, is the fact that they are teaching knowledge that’s attached with experience. The wisdom that comes from a good teacher is priceless. It’s what the youth of today need, but refuse to see. Technology is great when it benefits society. Buts it’s also detrimental in that it deceives people into thinking they don’t need to learn because they have the answers waiting for them on their phones. Knowledge is good, but the proper use of that knowledge is called wisdom. And that can only be passed on from one person who possesses it to someone who doesn’t. Wisdom is the goal of education. It’s so sad that people have lost insight to this truth.

13 Joyful is the person who finds wisdom,the one who gains understanding.14 For wisdom is more profitable than silver,and her wages are better than gold.15 Wisdom is more precious than rubies;nothing you desire can compare with her.16 She offers you long life in her right hand,and riches and honor in her left.17 She will guide you down delightful paths;all her ways are satisfying.18 Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her;happy are those who hold her tightly. Proverbs 3:13-18
