Read Proverbs. Apply the teachings. I'm a terrible example, but that's my answer.How can a person become wise?
If you prefer, you can substitute Proverbs for
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, or other great works from history.
Sure, the school of hard knocks is a way to (hopefully) increase wisdom. Age. Time. Reflection. Prayer. Empathy.
But there is something to be said for being teachable. So many questions that we plague ourselves with have been dealt with and addressed by those who came before us.
You can attempt to forge your own path or you can draw on the wisdom of those who came before.
Maybe spend a some time talking to grandfathers and grandmothers about life.
Be humble. Be teachable. Seek out and study wisdom from/with wise people who took/take the time to write/share their wisdom.
Oh, and if all that fails, just shut up and you might be thought of as wise, or at least not a fool.
(Yeah, I'm still working on that last one)
