Contest: Wisdom Comes with Age

Greetings dear steemians and happy new month, today i will love to participate in this contest being organized by @eveetim. Before I will love to participate i will kindly invite some of my friends to join me in participating in this contest, they are @goodybest, @okere-blessing, @realitytrend.

Let me go ahead to answer this question;

✓ What do you understand by the word wisdom?

Wisdom in a lay man's understanding it can be defined as the ability to apply understanding, knowledge, more of experience and practial way, ot it can be defined as a state of being wise, having of understanding, knowledge in every level of life. There is always a saying that wisdom comes with age, but some people always misunderstand it by saying it's only the old people who have wisdom.

✓ Do you think great wisdom comes with age or anyone can possess it?

Some people would say wisdom comes with age, but no wisdom doesn't come with age , it comes through life experience learning and also reflection of life. We often say we get our knowledge through life experience, that's correct. According to Oscar Wilde he said that "with age comes wisdom, just because you think you are old enough that why you have wisdom more than any other person,No it's wrong, and for those who thinks others wise of your self, it is clearly a bad habit.

✓ If wisdom should come with age, do you agree that all elders are wise?

If wisdom should come with age, well yes all the elderly one would have being wise, but the fact that all of us are born with wisdom, most of us we are being told that we don't know anything this and that, we are not fast in doing something, we must know everything and all of that, most of this things usually hurts, note that not one person will know everything in the world, at least we know at least most of the things.

✓ What is your personal understanding of elders possessing wisdom?

In Job 12:12 it says " so with old age is wisdom, and length of days of understanding and in Psalm 92:12- 15 it say the righteous florish like palm tree, and grow like cedar in Lebanon. So what i am trying to is that elders have greater understanding than us, there is a saying that what the elder sit down and look up a child can't stand and see even if you are sitting in an iroko tree.

To conclude this hope you will all adhere to it.
