Wisdom doesn’t come from experience. It comes from reflecting on experience.
Between ages 25 and 75, the correlation between age and wisdom is zero.
Gaining insight and perspective is not about the number of years you've lived. It's about the number of lessons you've learned.
The people who are nice to you aren’t always being kind to you.
Saying what you want to hear is nice. People sugarcoat feedback to make you feel good today.
Sharing what you need to hear is kind. People speak honestly to help you do better tomorrow.
Candor is an act of care.
Not having an opinion is not a sign of ignorance or indifference. It's often a mark of an open mind.
The more complex and consequential the issue, the more critical thinking depends on suspending judgment.
A key to learning is gathering information without forming a conclusion.
