Knowledge, Intelligence and Wisdom

Knowledge? Intelligence? Wisdom? Aren’t they all the same thing??

This will be my shortest post ever because it needs nothing else but the genius of Richard Feynman.

Knowledge is having the right answer.

Intelligence is asking the right question.

Wisdom is knowing when to ask the right question.

Alternatively, I love this old quote from the famous philosopher Anonymous, so I’ll include it here:

Wisdom is merely knowing what to do next.

If Feynman is new to you, I suggest two books, both wonderful.

The Quotable Feynman
