Smart or Wise ? 99.9% would say Wise. The reason ? They might not know it. Maybe because it is definitely sounds better than smart, because being Wise is usually good or etc. Of course, I myself also choose Wise.
My reason is very simple. Being Smart means you are Smart enough to know too much, sometimes even some things which you should not know while being Wise means you are Wise enough to know just what you need to know.
You can see Smart people discussing about many topics such as politics, education, business, etc, use the 'big', intellectual words, like to share their knowledge, etc.
However, when you see Wise people, they almost never discuss anything, politics is one of the topics they always keep distance from, most of the times quiet, keep everything to themselves, use as short and simple yet meaningful and useful sentences to advise, just know what they need to know and what they don't need to know, etc.
In this world, some things are just not meant for you to know. While being Smart would make people search for knowledge, being Wise would again make you know just what you need to know and what you don't have to know, search for knowledge that you need to know only.
Thus, Be Wise =)
