A brief spoken reflection by Betsy Guerra relaying a preacher's anecdote that distinguishes knowledge (having information), understanding (experiencing the consequences, e.g., crashing while texting), and wisdom (applying understanding and leading by example). The core claim: wisdom is demonstrated through practiced behavior, not merely verbal knowledge.

Chapters

I once heard a preacher say that there's a difference between knowledge, understanding and wisdom. He said that knowledge is just having the information. You know that texting while driving is not good, but you understand it, truly understand it, when you get into an accident because you were texting. And then wisdom is when you use your understanding and you apply it to your life. So a wise person is not just wise because that person knows so much and has the right words to express what he knows. A wise person is wise because he or she leads by example, practices what he or she preaches.
