Editor's note

Cleverness is a talent and ability.，Wisdom is the quality that is gradually precipitated and sublimated in the grinding of life.。A wise man may achieve a moment of success by virtue of his intelligence.，But lack of wisdom can lead to loss of direction in the face of frustration and temptation.。

More than twenty years ago.，Mr. Shi Weibin, founder of Yingda Technology Group, once wrote《Cleverness and wisdom》One article ，Explore the differences and connections between cleverness and wisdom.，And their meaning and value in our lives.。Profound insight。Now I share it with all readers.，Share with you。

“Don't be satisfied with external intelligence.，Efforts should be made to seek inner wisdom.。”
There are many smart people in the world.，There are not many people with wisdom.。
We've all heard of being too smart to be smart.，But I've never heard of wisdom being mistaken for wisdom.。There should be a difference between cleverness and wisdom.。

What is smart?？

Cong is from the ear.，Ming is from the eyes.。Sensitive ears，To hear the voice clearly is to hear it clearly.；Sharp-eyed，See far、To see clearly is to see clearly.。That's smart，Be able to hear and see clearly。

We say a man is clever.，It means that the person is quick to accept outside information.，The response was quick，The grasp is very accurate。He looked through his eyes、Ear、Nose、Tongue and other body organs receive external information，And fast processing。For example, a student completed the test accurately within the specified time.，Top of the list，We say he is a clever student.。Another example，Someone is in the real estate market.、The stock market made money.，We say he's a smart trader.。However，Smart can only solve“Use”The problem，It can't be solved“Heart”The problem。

When some smart college students graduate,，Can't become an atmosphere.。Be your own boss，Close the door；Be a professional manager，Can't finish the boss's task.；Be an official，Resentful，Unrecognized talent；Join the army，Disobey the command，There is no hope of promotion；Be a doctor，No medical ethics，Can't become a famous doctor.；Be a teacher，Can not inspire students to think.；As a financial broker，Although I made some money.，But still can not escape the financial turmoil.，The result is still a bad move.，End up with broken hands and feet。

The above examples abound。This shows that the problems that can be solved by intelligence are partial.，Being too clever to be clever also illustrates the limitations of cleverness.。

Wisdom is different.。Wisdom is insight；Wisdom follows the heart，It means that everything is accessible。Wisdom is higher than cleverness。A wise person generally has the following two characteristics.：
 

First，A wise man looks at a problem from the law of things.。They see things in their essence.，Not to be blinded by superficial phenomena。They watch the festival，Without looking at the details.。No matter what job you do.，What they focus on is.“The soul of duty”。For example，The profession of professional managers is to achieve the goals of enterprises.；Obeying the command is the bounden duty of a soldier.；The teacher's responsibility is to inspire students to think.。As far as they're concerned，All actions conform to the laws of nature.。
 

Second，A wise man is good at learning lessons.。I made a mistake.，Be good at learning lessons，Not a repeat offender.；Others make mistakes，Will learn from it，Will not repeat the same mistakes。

That year，Mr. Deng Xiaoping learned a profound lesson from history.，Firmly grasp the law of market economy——Free trade is a win-win.、There is no free lunch in the world.，Only then did China's economy develop by leaps and bounds today.。Mr. Deng Xiaoping is indeed very wise.。

I also hope that everyone will be a wiser person.——Understand more about the laws of nature，And learn from the mistakes of others.。
