[Old School]

The Nazarene Carpenter (if you believe the story) was in his early thirties when he delivered the Sermon on the Mount. Wisdom can come with age, but it doesn't necessarily follow. Also, wisdom can come at an early age...but doesn't necessarily have to. I've always been told a lot of things, and a lot of it is garbage.

I have to disagree with you on your last statement, I think wisdom does come with age and experience, as one experiences lifes triumps, failures and everyday tribulations, is when one gains wisdom. I have know several people that were placed in demanding positions at a young age, even though they were highly educated and motivated they did not have the wisdom to perform their job duties and were dismissed. Today these same individuals excel in these demanding position, due to the experience, triumps and failures they have encountered over the years. I for one realize that today, I'm a much wiser person than I was 20 years ago and I also expect to have more wisdom 20 years from now.

We've all been told a lot of things, and with a lot of it being garbage, but I'm sure as you aged you were better able to tell what was garbage and what was not.
