Wit & Wisdom with Tom Greene

With constant ringing, pinging and noise in our daily lives we often forget that the greatest opportunity to impart wisdom is to stop talking and start listening. The wisest souls that ever lived knew this but we've often confused wisdom with words. Perhaps we got it backwards.

The famous quote "Carpe diem" we all translate to seize the day. But the more important part of that passage is "Carpe diem. Trusting as little as possible in tomorrow".

And, suddenly, our picture perfect life doesn't seem so perfect anymore.
