Inquisitive (adj.)

definition:

1. given to examination or investigation

2. inclined to ask questions; especially : inordinately or improperly curious about the affairs of others

Curiosity rules my life. And it comes in many forms including wonder, questioning, speculating, interesting, etc. Not surprisingly, curiosity also means "odd item". That definition also fits me well. Knowledge is important to me but sometimes I wonder if I confuse knowledge with wisdom. Knowledge and wisdom have similar entities but I am starting to realize that knowledge must exist for wisdom to exist. But knowledge does not necessarily indicate you are a wise person. One definition of wisdom refers to the attainment of experience and perspective in which deepens your understanding of knowledge.

Here's an example, I have been sitting here, in a coffee shop, eavesdropping on a LSAT tutoring session. I now have the knowledge of how to approach the LSATs (which could of helped me years ago) but I wasted my time listening instead of writing cover letters. Will I learn from this experience? Probably not.

Now, here's the question of the day, if we have proficient self knowledge of ourselves but on purposely ignore it, is that experience still considered to be wisdom?
