Wisdom is very important in the life of every individual, wisdom is highly needed in our day to day dealings with other people and things
Having wisdom is one thing, knowing when and how to apply your wisdom is another thing. A lot of people claim to be wise but in the actual sense, they're just foolish because there's a thin line between wisdom and foolishness
What's the need of wisdom if you don't know how to apply it?
That's foolishness!
Wisdom is so tender and gentle like a beautiful young maiden; that's why it's mostly noticed among the elderly. Wisdom mostly dwells in a calm, serene and recollected soul.
That's why it's very difficult to take sound lasting decisions when you're tensed, You have to be settled and at peace for wisdom to flow
Any decision taken in a hurry or tensed condition is likely to be devoid of wisdom because wisdom doesn't function effectively in such conditions
There are times when you're tensed and unsettled, when you can't even think straight. The best decision to take at such time is to seek counsel from another person. There's a saying in my place that "one man's knowledge is never enough for him"
There could be more wisdom in a decision taken by a fool in a calm state than that taken by an unsettled and agitated wise man

When you find yourself in a state of confusion, in sixes and sevens, the worst thing that you can allow happen to you is to still think of yourself as a wise man and go ahead to take decisions because you're most likely to regret it later
Two things you can do to help yourself when you're unsettled and unable to take sound decision are:
Either you you give yourself some time to calm down or you consult someone else for advice. Do not allow pride to ruin your decisions
We are all humans and we need each other at one point of our lives or the other. No man is an island of knowledge
Even a candle stick that illuminates an entire room cannot emit enough light to see it's base, to see the base, the light of another candle is needed
Chinedu Mbamalu
You see, sometimes we need each other to succeed, do not say you know it all; swallow your pride and ask for help from another person if and when the need arises
your wisdom isn't enough
