Wisdom is not about knowing everything. In fact, some of the biggest know-it-alls often appear foolish because they use knowledge only as bragging rights. True wisdom goes beyond information—it’s about how you apply what you already know.

Here are 3 simple ways to grow in wisdom, even with a small amount of knowledge:

1. Take Inventory of What You Know

Start by asking yourself: What do I actually know?This doesn’t have to be a long list. Instead, keep it short and honest. For example, you might say, “I’m an intermediate writer.” Knowing your current level helps you understand your strengths and areas for growth.

You need to realise that you know nothing first.

2. Identify What You Don’t Know

Next, take a look at the gaps. What do you need to learn about your career, business, or personal growth? By naming what you don’t know, you create clarity. And with clarity, you can set a clear direction for improvement.

Knowledge speaks but wisdom listens

3. Practice What You Already Know

Finally, put your knowledge into action. To grow in wisdome you need to practice!

Practice!!

Then practice!!!

Practice transforms information into experience, and experience into wisdom. For example, knowing how to cook rice is basic. But through consistent practice, you learn timing, flavor, and technique—and soon, you master it.The same applies to your career or business.

Experience builds wisdom

Every time you apply what you know, you gain experience. Every experience sharpens your skill. And with every skill mastered, you grow wiser.
