Wisdom is never borrowed

Wisdom is never borrowed.
What can be borrowed is never wisdom—
It's only knowledge.

Knowledge is transferable; 
It can be received, disseminated, exchanged, and transmitted
It can be learned, taught, and reiterated. 
But not wisdom.

Wisdom is born of experience and contemplation. 
It's internalized and assimilated through self-reflection and judgment.
No one else can bestow it upon you.

  6. WoW ! Thanks for adding to "Information-Knowledge-Wisdom" conceptual decoding. Three EXs can be seen adding further clarity.
    1.Ex(perience; past)
    2.Ex(periment; present)
    3.Ex(pectation; future)
    All are ingredients of " WISDOM"
