聪明和智慧是两回事 Intelligence and wisdom are two different things
聪明是一种生存的能力；而智慧则是生存的一种境界。
世界上聪明人不多，估计十中有一；而智者就更罕见，估计百里无一。你看，连公认的智者苏格拉底都自认为，按照智慧的要求，自己是无知的。
Intelligence is an ability to survive; Wisdom is a realm of survival.
There are not many smart people in the world. It is estimated that one in ten; Wise men are even more rare. It is estimated that there is no one in a hundred miles. You see, even the recognized wise Socrates thinks that he is ignorant according to the requirements of wisdom.
在现实生活中，不吃亏的是聪明人；而能吃亏的是智者。
聪明人和别人过事儿总能保全自己利益。比如做生意，他们做生意都能把利润赚足；而智者绝不追求生意的最大收益，有些生意甚至赔钱也做。
聪明人知道自己能做什么；而智者明白自己不能做什么。
聪明人能把握机会，知道什么时候该出手；而智者知道什么时候该放手。因此，拿得起来的是聪明，放得下的才是智慧。
In real life, smart people don't suffer; And it is the wise who can suffer.
A wise man can always protect his own interests when he deals with others. For example, in business, they can make enough profits; The wise never pursue the maximum profit of business. Some businesses even lose money.
A wise man knows what he can do; A wise man knows what he can't do.
A wise man can seize the opportunity and know when to do it; And the wise know when to let go. Therefore, what can be picked up is wisdom, and what can be put down is wisdom.
聪明人总把自己闪光的一面表现出来，也就是脱颖而出；而智者是让别人把闪光的一面表现出来。比如在一个聚会里，聪明人嘴忙，往往侃侃而谈，因此是茶壶；而智者耳忙，注意聆听别人，因此是茶杯。茶壶里的水最终要倒进茶杯里。
聪明人注重细节；而智者注重整体。
聪明人多烦恼，失眠较普遍，因为聪明人比常人更敏感；而智者能远离烦恼，达到“不以物喜，不以己悲”的超然物外之境界，因此智者吃得下、睡得着。
Smart people always show their bright side, that is to stand out; The wise man is to let others show the shining side. For example, in a party, smart people are busy and often talk freely, so they are teapots; The wise man's ears are busy and pay attention to listening to others, so it is a teacup. The water in the teapot is finally poured into the cup.
Smart people pay attention to detail; The wise pay attention to the whole.
Smart people worry more, insomnia is more common, because smart people are more sensitive than ordinary people; The wise man can stay away from troubles and reach the detached state of 'not happy with things, not sad with himself'. Therefore, the wise man can eat and sleep.
聪明人渴望改变别人，让别人顺从自己的意志；而智者多能顺其自然。因此，聪明人的人际关系容易紧张，而智者的人际关系多和谐。
聪明多数是天生，得益于遗传；而智慧更多靠修炼。
聪明能获得更多知识，而智慧让人更有文化。反过来，一个人知识越多越聪明，而文化越多越智慧。
聪明靠耳朵、靠眼睛，所谓耳聪目明；而智慧靠心灵，即所谓慧由心生。
Smart people are eager to change others and make others obey their will; And the wise can let nature take its course. Therefore, the interpersonal relationship of smart people is easy to be tense, while the interpersonal relationship of wise people is more harmonious.
Intelligence is mostly innate and benefits from heredity; And wisdom depends more on cultivation.
Intelligence can gain more knowledge, and wisdom makes people more educated. Conversely, the more knowledge a person has, the smarter he is, and the more culture, the wiser he is.
Wisdom depends on ears and eyes, which is called hearing and seeing; Wisdom depends on the mind, that is, wisdom is born from the heart.
科学让人聪明，哲学教人智慧。
聪明能带来财富和权力，智慧能带来快乐。因为聪明人往往有更多技能，而现实中这些技能只要机缘巧合，就能转化为财富和权力。但是财富和权力与快乐很多时候并不成正比，快乐来自人心。
因此，求才，聪明足矣；求脱离烦恼，非修智慧不可。
郑板桥说，“聪明难，糊涂更难”。其实，郑氏的“糊涂”是需要智慧的“糊涂”。所以，“难得糊涂”翻译过来就是“难得智慧”。
Science makes people smart, and philosophy teaches them wisdom.
Wisdom can bring wealth and power, and wisdom can bring happiness. Because smart people often have more skills, and in reality, these skills can be transformed into wealth and power as long as they happen by chance. But wealth and power are often not in direct proportion to happiness. Happiness comes from the people's heart.
Therefore, it is enough to seek talents and be smart; To get rid of trouble, you must cultivate wisdom.
Zheng Banqiao said, 'it's difficult to be smart, but it's more difficult to be confused.'. In fact, Zheng's 'muddle headed' needs wisdom. Therefore, 'difficult to get confused' translates into 'rare wisdom'.
