• Perspective. Perspective allows to you focus on the big picture so you can distinguish what’s really important in the long run from what just seems pressing at the moment. Because perspective helps you sort out the impact of events large and small, it enables you to plan more effectively and react less impulsively. Perspective helps us put long-term gain before short-term gratification—and we make better decisions as a result.

• Wisdom. The world is full of people who are smart but not wise (think Richard Nixon). Intelligence enables you to learn, acquire new information, and think logically—but that’s it. Wisdom is the ability to bring your unique perspective to a situation, blending information and logic with your personal values so your decisions are not merely correct, but also morally sound and good. People of all ages can be intelligent, but wisdom comes with the deeper, more nuanced understanding of the world that only experience and perspective can provide.
