What makes someone truly smart and wise?
Master Woo Myung explains that intelligence does not come from clever thinking, but from discarding the self-centered mind.
When we speak and act from the true mind, we are objective and righteous—our communication becomes clear, and others understand us easily.
True wisdom comes from clarity, not complication.

How to Become Smart and Wise

To be smart means to be wise.

It is not possible to be wise when one’s mind is only occupied with a self-centered mind. When you throw away your self-centered mind and have the true mind, your words and actions are righteous. When you are righteous, you will speak objectively, and you will become smart.

Being smart means that when you speak, your words are easily understood by others, and your words are communicated to others effectively.

When you discard your self-centered mind and have an objective mind, you can become smart.
