The wise person thinks ahead. He or she avoids rash, hasty judgments and decisions. The opposite is called opening one's mouth to put one's foot in it. This is not the ability to learn facts or a new skill. That is very important in any career.
Wisdom is the openness to keep learning from the experience of others and from one's own mistakes.
There is a huge amount of misunderstanding when people fail to grasp the subtlety of another's language, especially the metaphors they use. As opposed to those who miss the point, the wise person knows how we feel and what we are trying to express. None of us exemplify such a range of wise qualities. But Sophi a is willing to take us in hand and give us all the wisdom we need for walking through life. The same idea is picked up in the New Testament.
