Before I went off to university my father gave me a few words of wisdom.在我上大學之前，父親告訴我一些至理名言。
Conventional/Received/Popular wisdom has it (= most peoplethink) that women are more emotional than men, but in my experience it often isn't the case.一般的看法認為女性比男性更情緒化，但依我的經驗來看，事情往往不是這樣。
Rather, they encode diagnostic knowledge of a general character about individual concepts-what one might describe as the conventional wisdom about these concepts.
It was found that mystical experiences promoted transcendent wisdom, but that the effect was moderated by self-enhancement values of power, status and achievement.
This kind of self-knowledge confers practical wisdom, tolerance, and compassion and thus influences how the individual so enriched judges other people and other situations.
