Lots of people are unemployed and apply for every job, so references really need to be good. But Jim hated the last three jobs he had because he judged them to have little potential. As a result, he can't put any of them down as a reference, and employers want to know what his work history is. Many people tried to tell him not to quit and to get to work on time, but Jim felt that he knew better. Wisdom would have looked ahead, made the best of a poor job until a good one came along.
Wisdom listens to people with more experience.
Sometimes it weighs all the evidence and makes a different decision, but wisdom listens first. Understanding All the gifts are connected. Wisdom and understanding are certainly linked. Try being a listener, not giving advice or trying to help. The gift of understanding helps you to really hear what another person is saying.
