Important To Greater Wisdom Research Paper

Improved Essays
Change happens in many different ways, in many different areas of our lives but changes that happen to allow or encourage a person to develop greater and greater wisdom I believe are, time, life experiences and a positive, optimistic attitude. I am certain that if more of us took the initiative to understand how change can be for the best, we would see a world with more patience, acceptance, understanding, and love.
I believe time is a big factor in how people change from moment to moment, day to day, year to year, and even years to future years. Time is part of our daily lives, like a circle we find ourselves circling back to the same hours we seen the day before and after. Time is something most of us take for granite, and very seldom stop

I believe life experiences are important to greater wisdom because it’s something we’ve experienced firsthand or somehow closely related to the experience. I can easily gain a great deal of wisdom through reading materials, but to actually put my head, hands, and heart into an experience is the true benefit to experiencing it firsthand. I believe with life experiences it gives opportunities to be a part of the experience and not just read about it. We may walk away with a better, closer understanding of what’s being taught if we experience it through our own eyes and experiences. A small child will watch another small child crawl around the room, as the child is watching they are learning and will soon put what they learned through observation into their own experience with crawling, and before they know it they are crawling all over being the one being watched by another small child who has yet to …show more content…
Time can change us, although it never really leaves us, the opportunities it can bring, does. Life experiences are building blocks for growth and knowledge, without them we might never know firsthand the benefits of what they have to offer. Experiences may differ, but the idea that we are developing wisdom through our own life experiences help with our own personal growth. Also, I believe that attitude plays a huge part in ones drive to become wiser. Someone who has displayed a poor attitude about higher learning is more likely to not continue their learning in comparison to someone that is more optimistic and open to the idea of becoming

    Throughout the article “Teaching Practices of living inquiry” by Karen Meyer there were many ideas that were new to me such as the main concept of living inquiry. I was curious to know and understand how an ongoing living of an everyday life can be a practice. A practice which lets you enjoy every part of your life living in “being in the moment” and from this theory Karen Meyer developed a course which involves pedagogy and practices of each experience. From reading the article and putting these thoughts into real life practices I can now understand and visualize what it means to have a living inquiry.…

This means that everything on Earth has an expiration date and that nothing on this planet is meant to last forever.

Time also brings about difficult changes and choices which should not be avoided or ignored. They should be embraced because when one fails to accept these challenging changes and choices, it brings about…

    There are several approaches concerning university courses and professional actions of a work environment, as the priority of seeing different places.

    Social Construct Of Time

    The social construct of time is something that tends to vary widely from culture to culture. While U.S. culture tends to favor punctuality and time consciousness over all, there are many cultures that view time as nothing more than an illusion; this phenomena can be explained by the terms “monochronic” and “polychronic”. My personal concept of time leans much closer to being monochronic. It is typical of me to always arrive on time (and expect others to do the same), wait in line without complaint and check the time repeatedly throughout the day. A great deal of my daily energy goes into focusing on the time and ensuring that I am always abiding by its role in my life.…

    Knowledge Does Not Equal Wisdom If you believe that to be wise is to know everything, then in your understanding nobody can ever be wise. No one person can know everything there is to know, especially since the world has not yet discovered everything there is to know. Nevertheless, there are people that the world idolizes because they are believed to be wise. People such as Buddha, Confucius, and Gandhi, and Socrates, all of whom were mere men, are treated as gods due to their presumed wisdom.…

    Wisdom What is wisdom? There is not a universal definition of this term since it comes down to personal perception. It may be possible to recognize the word wisdom in a short definition but would not make it justice to the vast meaning of wisdom. Wisdom in my brief opinion means seeing things as they are, to see things in a profound way, and understand the situations that life bestows upon you.…

    Time is very subjective in terms of how we experience it. To a bored student time can seem endless and the clock ticks away, second by second each taking a lifetime, as we grow older time passes by more and more quickly to the point that find that fond memories that feel as if they were yesterday were days, months , even years ago. Not only is the perception of time divergent for different people, it also evolves as we do, as our lives and situations change so does our view of time. It is based upon our awareness or consciousness. In French philosophy they use their senses to describe and explain how we perceive nature and the world around us.…
