"Judicious use of knowledge makes for wisdom" - Zarathushtra
Wisdom provides a framework in which knowledge fits in. This framework accommodates knowledge which is applicable irrespective of time and place. It should also support right application of knowledge at the right context. However, the framework has to be built with the worldly knowledge, which is the primary source. To do so, one has to be open-minded, detached, analytical, and curious/observant. Being open-minded helps you accommodate multiple perspectives. Being detached enables you accept perspectives that are contradicting to your own. Being analytical helps you analyze every perspective. And being curious catalyzes you to quickly gain more perspectives.

First one must be open-minded to realize that he should be open-minded. So its true even though it looks contradictory with itself. emantaavu?
Realizing is different from implementing it. I realize that if I work hard, I will succeed. Will I do it?
