Through wisdom your days will be many, and years will be added to your life… By wisdom a house is built, by understanding it is established; And by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

King Solomon
About This Quote

The phrase “By wisdom a house is built,” is a quote that comes from Proverbs. It states that wisdom will provide the foundation for your life, and it will make it easier for you to find success. Wisdom can make you rich in all kinds of ways. Sometimes, wisdom makes the right decisions when people are in trouble.

For example, if someone steals something from you, instead of getting mad at them, you might try to teach them what they did wrong in the hopes that they don’t repeat the same mistake. That way, they can learn not to steal again. On other occasions, wisdom helps you avoid making mistakes that would be costly or dangerous.

For example, if someone near you has an addiction to drugs or alcohol, you might try to talk them out of it instead of causing harm to yourself or someone else. Wisdom is also about avoiding foolish mistakes when you’re in charge of others. For example, if you want your subordinates to be more productive than they are now, but their performance is not where it should be because they don’t have the tools or support they need to get better results, then wisdom can help guide your decisions on how to get them there.
