I wanted to start this thread for a while because it is a topic that fascinates me...
How can a person become wise?
I think many people have all the intelligence they need but still end up in all kinds of bad situations.
Many times I have looked at some of my own actions and thought "this was extremely foolish".
Brian Tracey has a quote about this which sums it up well..
I would love to see some people weigh in on this:
- do you think it is a case of being able to learn correctly from your mistakes and the mistakes of others?
- is it about being able to control short term thinking and compulsive actions?
- or is it about your values and how you interact with the world?
There is a lot of great advice around on how to create wealth but it does seem there is a lack of good resources for building true wisdom.

Human beings, by nature, are lazy, greedy, ambitious, selfish, impatient, vain, and ignorant.
These traits are neither good nor bad by themselves; it is only the way in which we manifest these natural traits that make them positive or negative.
These natural traits are the fundamental reasons for why people do what they do.
