“Solomon says that reckless words can pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing with it. In other words, knowledge must be tempered with emotional intelligence. Experts claim that your IQ is pretty much set in stone by the age of fourteen and therefore the increase in smarts after that point is nothing more than being more informed. Most people can gather more facts and figures as they grow older, but few seem to gain the ability to initiate, apply and integrate that information in a way that promotes the welfare of others. It is the ability to share your knowledge without the recipient feeling uninformed or stupid when you are doing it that creates tremendous increase in not only your own life, but more importantly within the lives of others. This is a gift. I can count on one hand the people who are a tremendous resource and who have a way of increasing your knowledge base while still magically creating a sense of importance within you while doing it. Then there are those who hoard information and will make you jump through hoops in order to have some – all while consistently reminding you where you got it.”  - Steve Sisler
