We have always heard that 'experience teaches wisdom'. With that, I cannot disagree.
However, Wisdom does not always require many years, but always requires much humility and patience. Because, it is in being humble & patient that one is able to observe, evaluate & learn; and it is in being able to learn and appreciate the new or the 'other', that one is able to comprehend or empathize. With empathy, humility and patience, great and ordinary men alike can demonstrate the rare combination of valor, resoluteness and prudence that wise leadership & general conduct requires. Let Patience & Humility be the preeminent companions for your Passion & Ambition. Permit Humility and Patience to enable you to learn, even from the most unlikely person, group or circumstance.
Finally, notwithstanding Passion & Ambition, strive to be patient and humble, so that you can learn the art of wisdom to guide you through crises or triumph.

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing those thoughts. Couldnt have put it better myself.
Have you relinquished the pen? Or the sword?

How are your projects proceeding?
Thank you for your observation Maati...
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't relinquished either...
Projects are going well - one of the reasons for my absence.
Thank you
