Knowledge is an archive of facts about reality that you have memorized, and hence, can assert whenever you want. It doesn't not amount to true understanding of such facts, and it certainly says nothing about the harmony between your attitudes and behaviors and those learnt facts of reality.

Knowledge with wisdom make you Divine like and helps you to gain success. This implies being able to use your knowledge in a way that makes a difference to your concrete problems and relationships and really furthers your life. This is wisdom.

Exactly, we learn so many things we read so many stuff but the thing is how we use it. People who know how to use their experience are the winner.

Let's not forget it's for the most part useless for anything of substance or value.
All knowledge does by itself is get people into trouble and break things. It's interjected in places it doesn't belong for personal and selfish reasons with no apparent benefit.
It takes the wisdom and the understanding to implement knowledge into something that can fully utilize the stored information.

Very true. If your mind is stuffed with lots of knowledge but you don't know the appropriate use of it, you will spoil the situation instead of sorting it out.

It still pains me that businesses think that a young, fresh faced graduate has the ability of someone with countless years of experience in a given field. Wake up people! University for me was a time to socialize and gain life experience, not academic merit. Sad times.

I guess this comes from the quote, "Zeal without knowledge is a runaway horse". Active interest, enthusiasm and a good wisdom can lead a person anywhere as he ought to be. I like your post! =)

Hotshot kids quickly show themselves up for the hollow self promoting meat bags they are. Only experience under pressure will prove the worth of many staff.

Very true indeed. You can be a member of MENSA but you might not be able to function in society. Hence all the psychiatric institutions are filled with professors. On the business side, knowledge with wisdom makes millionaires.

Knowledge without wisdom is like a live bullet waiting for a trigger to be pulled. You should know planning and strategy to survive in the business.

Knowledge is the accumulation of facts. Wisdom is the integration of those "facts" married with your own personal experiences. Wisdom comes from being aware, awake, and living in the moment. The continual act of changing our views and thoughts based on the new experiential information that has entered your consciousness. Wisdom allows for a large and open point-of-view; knowing that not everything in this realty is black/white.

Some would say that wisdom is the application of knowledge in a beneficial way. A doctor can easily read books to take in more knowledge, but if it stops there and he doesn't put that knowledge to good use it is of little value.

Wisdom is using knowledge correctly. Knowledge is useless without wisdom. A simple post but very striking and straightforward. Good work Fred!

There is a culture in the UK at the moment for getting rid of the senior staff who have high wages and employing your people cheaply. But the problem as you mention is the they have no experience or knowledge and it will effect the businesses in the long time as they will loose the people who know how the business works.

So true, especially given the current state of technology and the internet. I fear that today's youth is taking knowledge for granted, and as a result will never develop the wisdom required for practical and critical thinking.

I knew an old electrical engineer once that was involved in a robotics start-up in the early '90s. They thought they'd save a ton of money by hiring brand-new engineers right out of college but they found out that the older engineers spent almost all day training and teaching the fresh recruits. Not surprisingly they were never able to make any real progress with developing their products. They did manage to survive for several years after a round of layoffs but the best I can remember the company eventually bit the dust.

I suffer from information overload because of the internet, however it is up to me to do something useful with that information. Those of us who recognize the need for wisdom will have an advantage over those who do not.
Thanks,

Agreed 100% as I have seen many example of this that comes to deadly end due to lack of wisdom.
Anyway thanks a lot for this.
