Wisdom Knowledge Information Information cannot speak for itself. It needs our help. It relies on us to give it a voice. When we do, information can tell its story, and will thus become knowledge. The ultimate goal, however, isn’t knowledge; it is wisdom. Knowledge becomes wisdom when it is used to do something good. Only when we use what we know to make the world a better place has information served its purpose and we have done our job. Our networks are awash in data. A little of it is information. A smidgen of this shows up as knowledge. Combined with ideas, some of that is actually useful. Mix in experience, context, compassion, discipline, humor, tolerance, and humility, and perhaps knowledge becomes wisdom. Turning Numbers into Knowledge, Jonathan G. Koomey, 2001, Analytics Press: Oakland, CA page 5, quoting Clifford Stoll.
O perpetual revolution of configured stars, O perpetual recurrence of determined seasons, O world of spring and autumn, birth and dying! The endless cycle of idea and action, Endless invention, endless experiment, Brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness; Knowledge of speech, but not of silence; Knowledge of words, and ignorance of The Word. All our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance, All our ignorance brings us nearer to death, But nearness to death no nearer to God. Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information? Excerpt from The Rock, 1934, T.S. Elliot [Image source: www.irishastronomy.org]
