Success doesn't automatically imply wisdom - nor does wisdom imply success. Contrary to popular opinion I feel wisdom implies the ability to live with both failure and success - while striving for the best for everyone involved at the same time.
Life consists of ups and downs. Health and illness, riches and poverty - it all happens. Those who can live life as is, while striving to better themselves, are the wisest people in my opinion - especially those that end up giving to humanity - whether they be rich or poor.
