What I understood by wisdom is
that one can aim for highest with knowledge but one has to prepare for worst that is wisdom.
But being positive thinker then what is wisdom. I am confused about it. Please put some light on it!!

I think wisdom is soundness of judgement. It's good experience and extensive knowledge in practical matters relating to life and conduct. That is what I believe wisdom is.

The word wisdom contains 'is' and 'do' that's quite telling I think.

Perhaps wisdom is knowing you know nothing.
Or not knowing you know nothing.

To Philbirds: "Perhaps wisdom is knowing you know nothing."

In other words wisdom also means being humble

I don't think that wisdom is humble. As I behaved too humble and I have been told that you have to be wise and I lack in wisdom. So I am thinking it's more like making right decisions.

Virgo,

When I said being humble it meant being humble in the light of true knowledge. Knowing that he is just a drop in this vast vastness.

These are some of the attributes a earthly human would describe a wise man to be:

humble, non-judgemental, treats others same way as he would like to be treated, judicious (prerequisite is knowledge of subject area)
