Beginning of Wisdom


Mistakes seem to clarify
   the need to make better choices.

Making better choices
   is the beginning of wisdom.

"Sometimes mistakes point us,
   and guide us to wiser choices."


JamesLee

Mistake-to understand or perceive wrongly.
A fault in understanding, perception or
interpretation.
Wisdom-power of judging rightly and following
the soundest course of action, based on
knowledge, experience and understanding.

How interesting you put your definition in your poem. You don't mind people arguing with you?

"Mistake-to understand or perceive wrongly.
A fault in understanding, perception or
interpretation."
? the base of understanding
? the base of perception
? the base of interpretation
? the range of wrong


"Wisdom-power of judging rightly and following
the soundest course of action, based on
knowledge, experience and understanding."
? base of soundest
? base of good or bad or in between experience
? base of Knowledge (who taught you?)
? base of again understanding
? the range of right

can't got a certainty based on uncertainty

"Knowing God the beginning of the Wisdom".
