Courage. It is because I have insufficient of those "stuff". It is just like when you are going to have a long trip but you've that you 've no fuels. It;s no matter how hi-tech the car is equipped ( with GDP etc.).
Most of the time, wisdom come from courage. For example, Thomas Eddison has had thousands tials for his inventions. Madame Currie contribute greatly due to her hard-work-she could not be stopped by her blindness and continued her study. Imagine if Newton Issac never dare to ask why the apple is falling down and not the opposite way, the classic physical theory would not be developed.
I am tired of not saying the truth or running away from anybody I loved. Is that choice? To be courage to bare any challenges in your life?

Courage, because you can learn wisdom if you just study hard and really try, but if you don't have courage to begin with, there is no way to get it.

Hi Lotwits
I will vote for courage, because if one has no courage, he can't face any situation, though he may have wisdom and is very wise too.
What you speak about Edition and Curie are nine, i like that too..
Good discussion..
Thanks for sharing.
Welcome always, cheers.

I think I would rather have wisdom. You know that saying ‘fools rush in where angels fear to tread’…so courage does not always help us to take the right decision. However, its equally true that if we don’t have courage and venture out to unknown territories, we’ll miss out on so many things in life. yet I feel that wisdom helps us to deal with situations better and in the long run, this pays more than only courage.

I think the best to have is wisdom because I already have the will power to move ahead in life which have aroused courage also, many experiences in life have inspired me to overcome many difficulties also so I think we have to be courageous enough to accept things in front of us.

I will choose wisdom. Well, you see wisdom is different from knowledge. I believe that you in knowledge learn it, but in wisdom, you earn it. You earn it through experience, so you still need to be courageous to have wisdom. So with wisdom comes courage and everything else. Because if you have wisdom then you understand everything. You know when to be courageous and when not to be.
