Wow! Wow! Wow! Brilliant! I will share this with all of my colleagues later on this week (I am an experienced schoolteacher and educational administrator)!😀
How fantastic Simon. Wisdom presented in an easy to understand manner. I have learned more from what you have presented and I am not ashamed to share this wisdom with the world around me. Keep speaking even if you are only heard by one person. Keep the fire burning
Well done Simon Cohen, I agree with your philosophy on wisdom. It can't be quantified with how much you can remember from studies but how much of it can be applied in the betterment for all. I've got the nine fingers and the empathy part just need practice on the go slow and I'll be there. Flourish and prosper.
Wisdom cannot be taught being wise is having your own philosophy and having your very own ideas it's how you look at things and if the title says "How to be Wise" it clearly doesn't contain wisdom it may contain knowledge but not wisdom and i'm not really saying that i'm a wise guy and i know everything i clearly don't know many different things and i have a lot of things to learn and everyone is wise in their very own little world well i may be wrong but i just wanted to say that and by the way that was a great video and it contains some really good information that i'm sure a lot of people are interested in it and that was just an opinion so take it with an open mind and don't let it effect your very own opinion because everyone have a different perspective for looking at things and that was just mine Note: i made this comment at the beginning of the video and then i kept on watching after it and now i just wanted to say after watching the video and that he's kinda right people have the power to be wise but there are no rules for wisdom not all wise people are too slow and saying i don't know a lot makes this word lose its value and the last one is true because everyone and everything is vulnerable that's just how this world and i want to say now that everyone is wise in their own way
I am over 60 y/o, and IMO the bottom line is that the only way to gain wisdom is to APPLY knowledge. You cannot become wise at anything by reading books, taking courses, or watching videos. You must do those things to gain the knowledge of course, but you need to spend REAL TIME doing all of those, and then fill in the gaps where you lack the knowledge. This is where the failure comes in, you will fail a LOT (if you don't, you aren't becoming wise). You can't perform steps someone else does and expect to become wise about anything other than that specific thing the person taught you, the trick is to do other things that they did not teach you - experiment. Then you will become wise in that field. So yes, gaining wisdom requires, *gasp*, WORK. Given the choice to hire someone with a 4 year college degree and no real experience, or someone with 4 years experience and no degree, I would take the person without the degree because they are walking the walk. Of course AFTER that 4 year grad gets some real world proven experience, he might (depending on how well he did in school) reach the point where they exceed the value of the person who did not go to school. However, that person without the degree will always have 4 more years experience than the grad. Clearly college is important, but not always depending on the field (clearly medical doctors need a degree). Plus many grads end up in careers other than what they major in college - they used college to "party", not learn. A VERY successful and wealthy business man (who had no degree) once told me: If you want to become a famous painter, find the best painters around and do as they do. It makes no sense to listen only to a professor who sits in a classroom and has never painted anything famous. I can assure you that this is 100% dead on. I am retired now, but during my career as a principal software engineer I earned more money than even some PhD friends. I am not anti-college, my kids went to college, all I am saying is that until you have some practical experience, you are not wise even if you spent 6 years in college. You have knowledge, but probably less knowledge than someone who spent 6 years performing in the field.
If you listen to politicians they say they don’t know on many issues on a regular basis. I think this guy is just making up his own stuff and it is borderline nonsensical
Do you consider yourself to be wiser than Simon, Boyd? Do you feel you need more wisdom, or have you already arrived? If the source of wisdom is not TEDx videos on You Tube, where is it?
Thanks for sending the right messages. We cannot separate emotions and logics to understand the world.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Brilliant! I will share this with all of my colleagues later on this week (I am an experienced schoolteacher and educational administrator)!😀
I love the idea of wanting to leave a legacy of hope, a legacy of ideas.

“The one walking with the wise will become wise”
“Wisdom is the most important thing, so acquire wisdom, And with all you acquire, acquire understanding”
Incredible

Note: i made this comment at the beginning of the video and then i kept on watching after it and now i just wanted to say after watching the video and that he's kinda right people have the power to be wise but there are no rules for wisdom not all wise people are too slow and saying i don't know a lot makes this word lose its value and the last one is true because everyone and everything is vulnerable that's just how this world and i want to say now that everyone is wise in their own way
Waleed Qutob isn't that a bit egotistical.. wise people usually admit they know very little.
+Waleed Qutob I signed in just to LIKE your comment.
The race was not for the fruit , it was for the race for whom would be prayed first

Thanks for sharing 🌹
I seek to bemome more close minded to enhance my focus and purpose. I just dont know what to believe
He is wiser than he looks
Very good !
Wise voice
I usually find a nice fantasy to be preferable to wisdom.
Love it ♡
Wow
He's got a bit of a Justin Trudeau vibe, both in looks and in tone.

lacks depth booooooooring
he doesnt sound smart.
There's a difference between smart and wise. You can have one without the other.
