Intelligence and Wisdom

This is from the comments from this post:

I think that what we call intelligence is really an ability to get interested in something and focus on it. In school, the smart kids are the ones who happen to become interested in the subjects they are forced to study. Once you get interested in one thing, you can use the same technique on other things.

So intelligence is mostly learned, in my opinion. And intelligence is a very limited thing. It's an ability to focus intensely. It does not give you the big picture, or wisdom. Those are learned also, but from many varied experiences.

I don't have any problems with getting interested in something, concentrating on it is a whole different story for me :)
