In order to become wise, you must first admit that you know nothing. Then go and stare at a mountain and learn from it. Through the ages it sits quietly and only makes a sound now and then, often it just watches and listens rather than speak. Next you must go to the ocean and select a single grain of sand. Look at it intently until you understand. The single crystal that you hold in your fingers was once part of the mountain that is now so far away. Now repeat the journey from the mountain, to the sea, stopping to help others and learn from them as you go. Then you will be truly wise you see.
