Critical Thinking

Critical Thinking is an essential precursor to being able to acquire wisdom on an ongoing basis. It is the ability to be able to discern the truth and also be able to effectively problem solve, both of which are the most important building blocks for extracting the kernel of wisdom that results from self-reflection on life experiences.

Acquiring wisdom viewpoints

I have selected the following examples as what I consider reliable sources on wisdom. They all contain essentially the same components necessary to acquire/develop wisdom, although the orderings of the components for each source are a little different. I have used ordering markers in an attempt to help guide you when comparing the different sources.
 

1.) Confucius

2.) Psychology Today

3.) The Wisdom Center

4.) General Internet search


Also note that having experiences is a critical element for acquiring wisdom. These experiences be can taught in many instances, but in many other instances, new personal experiences can only come from having done it yourself. Therefore it is imperative to acknowledge that risks need to be taken in many instances to acquire wisdom. In other words, making mistakes is a part of life.
