So you think you're wise

I've always thought of wisdom as a stage beyond knowledge. Often ignorance and wisdom are confusing, especially to those who are neither.
We often expect wise people to be a certain way, however most people do not have visible halos, long flowing robes, white beards and/or staffs! Therefore the need for a simple guide to distinguish between ignorant/smart/wise in practical everyday situations. Here are a few I could think of:

programmer writes sloppy code (ignorant)
programmer follows design principles (smart) [duh]
programmer is known to not follow (wise) [beware of appraisal time!]

doesn't care what people think (ignorant)
cares what people think (smart) [sad but true]
knows whose opinion to care about (wise) [the list of whose can often be surprising]

not chivalrous (ignorant)
chivalrous (smart) [indeed!]
willing to not be (wise) [guys don't try this at home (or on dates) :P]

totally ignores the speed limit (ignorant)
always within 5 miles of speed limit (smart) [also might help you avoid tickets]
never the fastest car on the road (wise) [cruising!]

blogs about fart jokes (ignorant)
blogs about interesting things (smart)
makes fart jokes interesting (wise) [here's to you Seth MacFarlane]

May this guide be your key to wisdom (or wisdom teeth removal)
