Thank you for sharing your thoughts Mary Ann! For me, I guess... I can explain the different between knowledge and wisdom like this...

Knowledge is how to use a pencil... Wisdom is to know what to write about. It's like being good at something, but also knowing how to put being good at something to good use.

I am enjoying reading your blogs lately. I wrote those 6 Chinese proverbs in a piece of paper to serve as motivation. I realized that wisdom is more important than knowledge. I know those 2 nouns are both important.

People prioritize gaining knowledge than wisdom. For me, wisdom must comes first than knowledge. What is knowledge without wisdom?

My favorite proverb is, "People are not innately born with knowledge and wisdom, one must undergo hard work and struggles to gain them".

In every accounting subject that I took, the teacher will always start with a simple advice on how to be an accountant and the story behind their success.

Sir Roy once said that, " Ang accounting dili na pabrightay, strategy lang na class." He also said that if you want to be successful, you must pray and work hard. He also told us that we must also set time for friends and family.

Yeah! He's right! My cousin is failed 2 times in an evaluation exam but she never stop. Right now, she's a CPA working in a private company in Davao.

"Action first before words"

I agree! Actions set the achievers apart from the non-achievers. You can only make things happen you when act.

Thanks for the words of wisdom! :)

I would like to comment about it is easy to start an enterprise but difficult to sustain it. It some point all business owners must delegate authority. If one person attempts to run an enterprise making all major and minor decisions the enterprise can not possibly survive once it reaches a certain size.

"Action first before words" reminds me of a story that I read about one of the cathedrals built in Europe. (I can't remember the exact details right now)

There was a famous architect in the 1600's who was commissioned to build a mighty cathedral somewhere in Italy by the Cardinal. After designing a huge, magnificent vaulted ceiling he showed the designs to the Cardinal. The Cardinal, who was very proud and wanted to always be right, insisted that the architect should put a pillar in the middle of the dome to hold up the structure. The architect tried to explain to the Cardinal that it was not necessary, but to no avail. The architect did not want to lose the project, so conceded and put a big pillar in the middle of the structure.

About 300 years later the frescoes on the ceiling of the cathedral were getting old and some artists were asked to renovate it a little to make it look new again. Lo-and-behold: when they got up to the ceiling they discovered that there was a one inch gap between the pillar and magnificent dome. The architect had never supported his magnificent dome on the pillar - it was completely self-supporting!
