Many people spend years searching for and acquiring knowledge. Someone with knowledge in a particular field can earn plenty of money. And while money is most certainly important and appreciated by just about everyone, the wise are cautious where the knowledgeable rush in.
Albert Einstein, certainly a name that epitomized intelligence, saw things from a unique perspective that allowed him to enjoy his life, and his pursuit of knowledge. By utilizing creative solutions, he was able to achieve incredible success in many of the great scientific discoveries of the 20th Century.
His observation that "the true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination" allowed him to pursue opportunities he may have overlooked if he had thought about it too much. Wisdom and knowledge are not necessarily attained by merely studying and compiling information, but also by living and learning, and enjoying the journey along the way.
As Einstein once said, "The important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing... It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education."
