Wisdom is letting go.
6. Intelligence leads you.
Wisdom guides you.

Bilionea Femi Otedola alipoulizwa kwenye interview,, "Sir ni kitu gani unachokumbuka kilichokufanya uwe na furaha maishani?"

Femi alijibu:
"Nimepitia hatua nne za furaha katika maisha yangu na mwishowe nilielewa maana ya furaha ya kweli." Hatua ya Kwanza ilikuwa ni kutafuta Mali na kulimbikiza. Lakini katika hatua hii sikupata furaha niliyoihitaji.

You buy exams for your child and lie to him he is the most intelligent kid in the world. He goes to university and does the wrong course. Either he drops out or he becomes a quack in that sector. He eventually gets a calamity. Wisdom of a fool.
