It’s a bygone and famed saying that: to know tomato is a fruit is
intelligence but not putting it in a fruit salad is wisdom. Not being a
sociologist, it could be surmised but its not absolute that one who
has Wisdom, might have a Good Character. But a question
ensues! Does Education provide you wisdom or a good character? And I would
avow: NEVER!
What Education prepares you for a ‘performance based work
oriented management’, where you can through your subject knowledge, which
has been vouchsafed to you, outdo to outshine. But do you acquire a good
character with the same? Nope and Denounced.
If you closely perceive an ‘Exceedingly Educated’ and an
‘Uneducated’ person, to some enormity you would conclude that, both could
defeat each other as who could be best in Being: Selfish or Greedy.
The Former because of Competition and the latter
of Insecurity. Obviously there are distinct personalities
with eminent persona and thus we cannot conclude with this proposition.
As Luthans discussed the difference between an Effective and
Successful Managers. Networking played an important role and thence, FB and TW
became a hit. Now 600 friends plus a good degree concludes you
to be positive and socializing and could hold the responsibility and play a protagonist. But honestly, can an exceedingly
socializing person ever understand the essence of depth, and
thus people? Nope.
We admire movies like Wolf of Wall Street coz inside somewhere we
loved the persona of the protagonist Jorden coz he has been projected as the
same. No publicity is bad publicity, even if it’s negative. What
Logic? In the Theoretical training sessions, we are been taught:
'Learn to say No'! And people take this verbatim and implement it
everywhere, using their intelligence, but not wisdom. Mostly we like the position and not the person. The perception
changes with the position.That’s
intelligence but not wisdom.
And verily, who propagates such propositions?
Thus, as said by someone: you can buy education but wisdom is a gift from God.
