Got Wisdom?

So, now that you have taken the wisdom quiz, want to know how to get a five? Here's, in no apparent order, are the ten steps to becoming the wisest in all of the land. Sort of like the fairest of all the land, but it doesn't fade with age.

(At least according to the "Three-Dimensional Wisdom Scale--someone else might think that it's being able to write a coherent, entertaining story including: a jar of cheese whiz, Obama, three feral goats, a clothes pin, and a monkey wrench. If you do this, send it to me. I want to read!)

1. Be curious, and have your own opinions.
2. Don't settle for just the answer, find out why that's the answer.
3. Revel in the variety of life. Understand and enjoy the grey.
4. Be tolerant of others. Have compassion for all living beings.
5. Have a sincere desire to help everyone, and provide help where you can.
6. Seek to understand others, try to see things from their point of view.
7. Own your life. Take control of both your emotions and circumstances.
8. Look at all the available information before making decisions.
9. Once you make a decision, act upon it.
10. No regrets. Sure bad things happen. Learn from them, so they don't happen again.

Oddly enough, each unwise response lowers your score by 0.1. This makes 1.1 the low on the quiz, not 1. Apparently just taking the quiz increases your wisdom! To bad it's a one time deal.
