Cultivate and nurture...................

     Wisdom is a trait and a virtue that all of us can have.  It's not a rare attribute, and it's not something you either have or don't have.  Rather, you can cultivate it and nurture it.  You start this process in reflection, by asking the prudent question and by broadening your perspective by considering others' interests and long-term outcomes.  Both a kind of knowledge and a way of thinking, wisdom is acquired and molded through life experience.
