Smart Vs. Wisdom

It just strikes me when I was listening to a talk few days ago. I think we all actually aware that both smartness and wisdom are two totally different phenomena.

A smart person doesn't mean that he/she has wisdom. However, the reverse is true! A person with wisdom must be smart! Perhaps, I can say that the smart person without (much) wisdom is not that smart actually, and he/she is only on a lower level of smartness... just like myself... it's not easy to reach that level, and perhaps we need to spend our life to acheive it, which need a lot of discipline.

Smart people can solve problem, and can be very successful. On the other hand, people with wisdom, may not seem that successful, but they are happier.

This may be just my opinion, this world has put us into a tiny and narrow view to judge a person's success: in terms of materialistics, fame, power... Human is losing the power of judgement with wisdom...
