Intelligence vs. Wisdom: How Do They Shape Our Decisions and Lives?

My take on the subtle differences between Intelligence and Wisdom....

Intelligence can be described as the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. It involves logical reasoning, problem-solving capabilities, and critical thinking. Intelligence is often associated with academic achievements and cognitive abilities.

On the other hand, Wisdom is the ability to make sound judgments and decisions based on experience, knowledge, and understanding. It involves a deep understanding of human emotions, empathy, and the ability to see the bigger picture. Wisdom is often associated with life experiences and practical insights.

While Intelligence is more about IQ and cognitive abilities, Wisdom is about emotional intelligence and the ability to apply knowledge in a practical and meaningful way. Both Intelligence and Wisdom are valuable traits that complement each other in making well-rounded individuals.

Good presentation. Finally, I would like to add, "A wise man can be intelligent, but not all intelligent men are wise."
