Knowledge is information or experience that we believe to be
true and for which we have justification or evidence. Wisdom is our using
knowledge or experiences to make good decisions. I believe I've been acquiring
both knowledge and wisdom from my time here at San Jose State. I've found that,
in most cases, what I learn in the classroom broadens my understanding of the
world and thus leads me to make better decisions in my life. In essence, the
knowledge I'm acquiring here is making me wiser. I think, in general, the
information age has made people more knowledgeable but not necessarily wiser.
Although the answers to our questions are almost always a few clicks away with
search engines, it is still up to us to use whatever we might have learned to
make wiser decisions. Having all the answers doesn’t necessarily change the
person you are, that is up to us.
