The Way Of The Wise

Ben Zoma says:
  Who is wise?
  The one who learns from every person…
  Who is brave?
  The one who subdues his negative inclination…
  Who is rich?
  The one who appreciates what he has…
  Who is honored?
  The one who gives honor to others…
  (Talmud - Avot 4:1)

Wisdom is the ability to connect information by seeing the whole picture, drawing the right conclusions and implementing the knowledge accumulated. 

A wise man chooses to eliminate pain and suffering by learning from the experience of others. 

A wise man bears the fruit of humility, self control, problem solving, kindness, compassion, patience and generosity. 

The wise are not quick to anger but to the contrary; They connect to wisdom by exercising tolerance. 

The wise are rich with knowledge because they never cease to learn nor do they feel they know it all. 

A wise man does not allow his emotions to rule his life. Instead, he observes and welcomes the opportunity to gain insight.  

Be a wise man, take advantage of all resources, and wealth of information available at your fingertips. 

Much love 
Estee 💟
