- Life, and by extension wisdom, is all about timing: “Intuitively” sensing when the time is optimal for doing something, and subsequently following through with that premonition in an expeditious manner. I know, I know: It sounds a lot easier than it actually is! Almost everyone ultimately arrives at the proper conclusion as more and more details become available, but kudos go out to those few who can discern that conclusion’s general outline well before the abstract entity becomes obvious to the masses. This ability defines wisdom; preternatural TIMING defines wisdom. The ability to anticipate potential rewards and, more importantly—adverse consequences—well in advance is what sets smart individuals apart from dumb ones. No more complicated than this succinct summation, yet said is a sacred plateau of savviness only a select few ever achieve while the preponderance of others get tripped up and fall to the wayside on the journey there.
