As he moves through life, his understanding stays with what is right and what is truly useful, and he chooses real purpose over passing pleasure. Such a person is called wise.
What it means
Every day offers a choice between what feels good now and what actually builds your life. Wisdom is quietly choosing purpose again and again, without making a show of it.हिंदी में अर्थ
जीवन में चलते हुए जिसकी बुद्धि सही और सचमुच उपयोगी बातों के पीछे चलती है, और जो क्षणिक सुख की जगह असली मकसद चुनता है — वही समझदार कहलाता है।
हर दिन हमें तुरंत मिलने वाले मज़े और असली भलाई के बीच चुनना पड़ता है। समझदारी है बार-बार चुपचाप मकसद को चुनना।
