Wisdom, then Knowledge

It is often argued that knowledge is much more powerful than wisdom because you cannot even begin to use wisdom unless you have some life experience, education and teaching to exercise your wisdom with. Of course, this is an impractical thought process, and here’s why:

You must first decide how you will think about things before you decide what to think about. I know, I know, it seems confusing. Let us walk you through the process.

Let’s say that you are five years old again. You hear your daddy say, “The only way to succeed is through really hard work and lots of it. There’s no other way to succeed.” Well, being a five year old, you are not likely to question the words of your daddy, so you have just been taught “how” to think about something. Success and hard work go hand in hand, and you can’t have one without the other. Of course, if you later on find that success can be had through careful financial planning and smart investing, then you may change “how” you think about success. “What” you would think about in these circumstances would include a wide variety of things, such as hard working jobs, successful role models, passive income experiments, and active income earning.

Wisdom is how you think about something, and knowledge is what you think about.

In your employee workforce, you will have many workers who must make decisions about the health and operation of your business when their supervisors are not readily available. Of course, you would want employees who are able to put together smart decisions which benefit the business in the short term, if not the long term, too, and who are competent mentally and emotionally in these fields.

Naturally, the emotional and mental health of your employees is of primary importance and, while you can’t build them or force them yourself, you can keep an eye on them over time. That is where workplace drug testing comes in so conveniently. Drug & alcohol testing is meant to bring you accurate results, and none more so than the NATA accredited onsite drug and alcohol screening brought to you by Mediscreen. We can do great things together.
