Response to Layal Zhang
“To learn a practice means to experience the practice, practice it, tell about it, ask questions about it, read about it, write about it, practice it, do it, empower others to do it” (Cahalan & Foley, 2017, p. 12).
Thank you, Layla, for sharing with us your article, I did enjoy reading the points you outlined.
Practical wisdom.” When one had practical wisdom, Aristotle believed that it was enough to be virtuous and to know what was “right.” “Practical Wisdom” is the hands-on application of knowledge, experience, and wisdom. We need the experience to cultivate practical wisdom. Experience is the key.
The notion of what is right or wrong, and wisdom; the experience is key for practical wisdom. Experience comes from doing something repeatedly, learning from mistakes, making critical decisions and honing our skills to be able to do the “right thing” under the circumstances in a specific situation. Life is not black and white. To be able to meet the needs of an individual or particular group, we need to understand and able to recognize another person perspective and their unique circumstances to be able to offer the optimal course of action for them. Practical wisdom is the path to realize our potential and create happiness. Weighing things differently, considering other’s viewpoints, I think it will lead to a new vision that has a positive impact on us.
