Undoubtedly, the events of life are in the hand of God. He appoints the portion of each and everyone of us in our good time and, so far, in our best way.
It must always be put in mind what the Holy Scripture says about wisdom. The statement is this:
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge of the Holy is understanding” Proverbs 9/10
It is very necessary that anybody who wishes success in life must make his/her bosom friend. Experience is his/her wise counselor. Caution is his/her elder brother. Hope is his/her guardian genius. If a reproof is to be given, it should be done at the right time and in the right spirit. If we think thrice before we speak once, we will speak twice and the better for it.
It should be known that God's instructions will make us wise, therefore, we should not refuse them. Certainly, God will help us to fulfil our best desires and to give up our lives, health and comfort to his will. Also, He will make His pleasure ours, but we need to be humble because humility is the hall-mark of wisdom.
Young persons should be advised on wisdom, to frequent the companies of their betters. In the books and, generally in life is the most wholesome society, therefore, we should learn to admire rightly. Great men admire, normally, great things, while people of narrow spirits admire basely and worship meanly.
Indeed, it is the value of wisdom to let our speech be better than silence or to be silent. It should be noted that: “Silence is a Great Peace Maker.”
It is usual that anybody who is wise will have many people as his/her friends for he/she will be useful and good. It follows that anybody who is not wise will have nobody as his/her friend.
It is necessary to recollect everyday the things seen, heard or read which make any addition to our understanding which we should always pray for, and, seriously, request for, to enable us learn the commandments and ways of God.
In the Holy Bible, King Solomon recognized the great importance of the value of wisdom (understanding heart) and prayed to God to give him wisdom to enable him rule in the right way because he was a teenager when he started to reign. God heard his prayer and he became possessed with very sound wisdom. He won great fame and he was popularly known as Wise King Solomon.
As a matter of fact, wisdom consists in the choice of best ends, and the use of the most appropriate means to accomplish those ends.
Generally, wisdom enables us to distinguish good from bad. As a result, good judgements will always come out from our actions.
