"Maturity is knowing you were an idiot in the past."
It makes sense in the way, that as we grow older, and as we gain experiences, we understand more about our world. And that is when we realised, how naive we were, in the past.
"If that is true, then wisdom is knowing that you will be an idiot in the future."
This statement.. Hmm... Wisdom. what is wisdom? wisdom enables us to know how to balance what we know and to organise and utilize wisely? i don't really get this actually.. > < about wisdom.. if we have wisdom, we can prevent ourselves from being an idiot, is it not? so this statement must have meant, with wisdom, you'll know that you will do something that is lack intelligence and hence will prevent yourself from doing it. am I right? or anyone has a better answer? =P
"And common sense is knowing that you should try not to be an idiot NOW."
Common sense is something in our conscious mind that tells us what is appropriate and what is not. so yeah, i get this...
what do you think? =)
