What is Wisdom?

Wisdom is like having a superpower that helps you make good choices and understand things better. It's more than just knowing things; it's about using what you know to make the world a better place.

Why is Wisdom Important?

Imagine you're playing a game. You need to know the rules to play well, right? Wisdom is like those rules. It helps us live our lives in a way that is kind, loving, and helpful to others.

That's how you learn!Read Great Books: Just like the Bible, other books can help you learn new ideas and ways to think.Think Before You Act: Before making a decision, stop and think about what could happen next.
