One of the things I love about words is that you can always discover more about them that makes you think a little deeper about their meaning - even those that you believe you already understand completely.

For example, someone told me today that he prefers wisdom to intelligence. I was intrigued to know what he meant and asked for clarification. This is what he said:

“I suppose intelligence would be the ability to solve complex problems. Then wisdom could be the realisation that there are better things to do with your life than trying to understand complex problems.”

I love that. It says to me that intelligence can lead to success, but it takes wisdom to bring you to happiness.

What does it say to you?
