Traits Of A Wise Person
* Eager to learn: Do you know that a wise person is always eager to learn, even though you think they know it all?
* Honesty: A wise person is honest not because it is easy to do, but because it is much more profitable to be honest than to be dishonest. The moment a wise person becomes dishonest, you can no longer trust his words.
* Submissive: A wise person submits to authority because he is part of the governing system, directly or indirectly.
His wisdom secures a place for him in the future, which places him even above the king.
When you see someone far greater than you bowing to you, check yourself to see what message that person is trying to pass across.
* God-fearing: I dare to tell you that if there is anyone who claims to be wise without acknowledging His creator, he or she isn’t wise but merely fantasizing.
A man of wisdom should be able to reckon with God as the ultimate wise one from whom other counsel originates.
Are you claiming to be wise without watching the words coming out of your mouth? Then you’re not wise.
One of the attributes that makes a wise man respected is the ability to listen more than he speaks.
Wisdom makes you self-controlled; it disciplines your taste, guides your decisions, and widens your reception of knowledge.
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom, and with all that you get, get understanding.
