“The key to good decision making is not knowledge. It is understanding. We are swimming in the former. We are desperately lacking in the latter.”
― Malcolm Gladwell, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
Wisdom is the ability to express good judgement based on sound knowledge.
Understanding is the ability to understand the information that forms one's knowledge and creates choices.
The accurate application of knowledge is power, wisdom is the discipline to choose to use or apply that power wisely.
Therefore:
“The key to good decision making is not knowledge and not even understanding. It is WISDOM. We are swimming in KNOWLEDGE. Some of us understand enough to seek UNDERSTANDING. The key to good/great decision making is in fact WISDOM, which we are desperately lacking as a society as we protect the masses from the greatest teacher of wisdom... the experience of FAILURE!” ― TOCD
Fail... Learn
Fail Fast... Learn Quickly
Fail Often... Learn Lots
Fail Uniquely... Use what you Learn to proactively prevent the madness of repeating what doesn't work!
