It's easy to be smart, some people are even born smart. To be wise is not as easy said than done. Most of us actually know what wise is about. But not many of us choose to be wise. Not because we don't want, but it's hard because being wise doesn't always help us gain the things that we want. And usually we ended up betrayed or cheated just because we try to be nobel and help others.To be humble, it's even harder.

To be smart, one can be trained. But to be wise, it takes life experiences. That's why most of the wise people are old in age, wise youngsters are rare.
