I just had a new friend, this time the oldest among all of my friends. He is already 82 years old, but his mind is still very sharp and brilliant.
I learnt a lot of things from him, especially in business dealings with the government. He has unconventional methods of solving certain problem which you cannot find in any books that you might have read or studied with during your schooling.
He said, he gained all these wisdom through time and experience as a Military officer, as consultant at the Congress and then later as a President of one of the Telecommunications service providers in the Philippines in the old days.
Though our age gap is very wide, almost 50%, but we got along well because of the common denominator, and i.e., he is also a God-fearing person and very familiar with the Wisdom in the Bible.
I then remembered the passage in the Scripture saying, "The fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom, and wisdom is to depart from evil."
So, when we have wisdom, we shun and avoid sin, evil and wickedness in our daily life.
