Wisdom Begins Poem by Sari Mavi

A conversation

Son: Dad, tell me a knowledge that you have, while I do not know about it, at all!
Father: It's my pleasure my son. Do you ready to listen?
(The boy was nodded)

Father: Okay, and Please come closer to me.
Wisdom. Do you know about wisdom?
(The boy shook his head)

'Wisdom is the ability to think strategically with the help of Knowledge, experience, common sense and insight to come up with solutions to challenging situations in life.'

Son: How do I acquire wisdom?
Father: Knowledge is one portion of wisdom.
Gain knowledge, learn from experience, and use your common senses to tap into the reservoir of wisdom starting, if you haven't already.

Son: How long does it take to be wise?
Father: No brick and mortar school establishment offers courses on wisdom.
No one graduates from the school of wisdom.
You learn wisdom from the school of life.
The more wisdom you acquire, the less wisdom you have.

Son: But when does wisdom start to trickle in?
Father: Wisdom takes time to cultivate.
You don't learn wisdom. You earn it.

'Wisdom begins in wonder.. Don't let the noise of others' opinion drown out you own inner voice.'

With your age and experience comes wisdom anyway — hopefully!

As he had hoped - he felt pleased

The boy stared him and smiling..
'Thank you dad. How much I love you.
I love you too, son.'
