Does Wisdom Come with Old Age?
Many centuries ago Sir Francis Bacon (1597) stated “knowledge is power”, and probably many people and scholars believed it is true, as we find some scholars such as (Drahos and Braithwaite 2002; Meredith 2007) who wrote many books and articles related to health and nursing and used such statement as a title.
The 2012 American Educational Research Association( AERA) Annual Meeting entitled ““Non Satis Scire: To Know Is Not Enough,” addressed how to take what we know from research and put it to effective (policy and practice) use (Ball 2012). Moreover Hovenic et al (2012) believed only knowledge is not enough to be power. They supported their argument by a survey conducted by the American academy of dermatology that showed “32% of white teenage girls and young women had used a tanning bed in the past year, while 81% had tanned outdoors in the past year. These women stated they do so for cosmetic enhancement, although they are well aware of the associated health risks”. (Hovenic et al 2012).

The question that arises is, if to know is not enough, then what is enough? Chavez answered that question by (stating in Ball 2012) “the end of all knowledge should surely be service to others”. Chavez's statement is reflected in the definition of wisdom in the Oxford English Dictionary, which defines wisdom as “the ability to make sensible decisions and give good advice because of the experience and knowledge that you have”.(Oxford University Press 2011). Wisdom not just knowing, it is how we use knowledge in servicing and educating ourselves and people who seek it.

It is rare to find knowledge, experience and understanding in one person. Wisdom is the deep knowledge and experience and understanding of how things work, for instance It helps employee make the right decision and offer advice to others allowing them to achieve best possible
