The 10 Common Characteristics Of Wise People # 1 Cultivated: In learning to know other things and other minds, we become more intimately acquainted with ourselves and are to ourselves better worth knowing. - Philip Gilbert Hamilton # 2 Compassionate: Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive. - Dalai Lama # 3 Good listeners: Good listeners have a huge advantage. For one, when they engage in conversation, they make people feel heard. They feel that someone really understands their wants, needs, and desires. And for good reason; a good listener does care to understand. - Simon Sinek # 4 Nonconformists: Heres to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. Theyre not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing, you cant do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” - Apple Inc. # 5 Open-minded: Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light wont come in.” – Isaac Asimov # 6 Problem-centered: Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth... these are one and the same fight. We must connect the dots between climate change, water scarcity, energy shortages, global health, food security and womens empowerment. Solutions to one problem must be solutions for all. - Ban Ki-moon # 7 Reflective: Take time out to reflect on yourself. Do you like what you see? Do you wish to change some attitudes, traits, and habits? Remember, it is never too late to change. - Hui-Neng # 8 Humorful: A keen sense of humor helps us to overlook the unbecoming, understand the unconventional, tolerated the unpleasant, overcome the unexpected, and outlast the unbearable - Billy Graham # 9 Unselfish: Happiness is spiritual, born of truth and love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone but requires all mankind to share it. - Mary Baker Eddy # 10 Willing: There are many persons ready to do what is right because in their hearts they know it is right. But they hesitate, waiting for the other fellow to make the make the first move - and he, in turn, waits for you. - Marian Anderson I hope you enjoyed the reading.
