Intellgence vs. wisdomLike me, no doubt you know many people who you consider to be very smart, who possess a high level of intelligence. However, one of the things I have learned over the years is that there is a great deal of difference between smart and wise, between intelligence and wisdom.

What's important?
I recall many years ago being assigned to a group whose IBM card processing (recall those?) was at least 6 months behind.
