Hey guys, define in your own words the word "smart" and the word "wise". Define and differentiate it! If you are wise, are you really smart too? If you are smart, does it mean that you're always wise? Does having a wise decision makes you smart person or does a smart person always chooses a wise decision? Give me your point of view about this....

Hi shai! I also once asked myself about this and have made a little research just to satisfy my curiousity. At first, I thought that being wise means being smart too. But now, i've come to realize that these two words are two separate ideas. "SMART" refers to your intelligence or learning capacity while "WISE" refers to the manner of doing things.
Simply put:
A SMART person knows the right thing to do.
A WISE person does the right thing.
I hope this may be of help to you.
