Wisdom--is the ability, developed through experience, insight and reflection, to discern truth and exercise good judgment. Wisdom is sometimes conceptualized as an especially well developed form of common sense. (Wikipedia)
Cleverness--identifies more with cunning and a keen intelligence. (my own)
As to the 3 pieces of wisdom? Hmmm...
1) All people shall one day die.
2) Time is worth a bar of gold but you cannot buy time with a bar of gold.
3) There is to little time to hate.
and from the great Mark Twain!
"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years." -- Mark Twain (Wikipedia)

First, understand that the terms knowledge and wisdom can be used interchangeably, but there are differences. You can have knowledge about a lot of things, but don't have much wisdom. Wisdom, in a nutshell, is the inevitable truths that you discover in life, regardless of any bias or differences of opinion. For example, it is inarguably true that when you know and understand yourself, you can begin to understand others. This wisdom usually takes a long time to acquire. Do you see what I'm saying? In other words, just b/c you are intelligent doesn't make you wise! Wisdom is gained thru knowledge, but knowledge can't be gained thru wisdom. Wisdom is the product of knowledge!

Wisdom comes from experience,it's not something anyone can teach you. Cleverness is someone who can take a moment of impossible and make it possible and Smartness is a lesson learnt and remembered.
Wisdom is the ability to discern or judge what is right,true,or a lasting insight...It's Common sense.It's that gut feeling inside you that makes you decided what is right,true,and lasting..It's your wisdom.

Wisdom is the ability, developed through experience, insight and reflection, to discern truth and exercise good judgment. Wisdom can be attained but it can also be natural. To use your wisdom you must overcome selfishness.

wisdom comes from age or learning from those who have aged and experienced. Its knowing when to let things go and when to push the issue.
Smartness usually comes from a book. an education (traditional or not)
cleverness is being quick on your toes. being ab;e to twist things around while still making sens.

I have a tendency to go off on tangents, so i will attempt to save this as short and sweet as achieveable ;) i do not imagine God damns you to hell only for being a non-believer and that i will allow you to understand why. interior the Bible, it even says that the residing house of God has many "roofs". Ergo, the understand God is presented in additional than a number of perfect kinds, and not stricly Christianity or the different particular faith. And as well, in spite of faith you prepare and in spite of your holy e book or rede, even no matter if that is the understand God, it became written by technique of the palms of guys. All faith is incorrect because we ourselves are incorrect. so as it truly is my opinion (and really, evaluations are what it consistently comes right down to) and many will disagree, only as others will agree. also, do not overlook that different human beings comprehend scriptures in differing concepts. How I interpret issues will for sure determination with others. yet because of this we've such an outstanding form of human beings reading those texts, even on the on the spot :) i wish i have responded your question, yet only in case I went overboard with my personal evaluations, i will state it only: Whoever fairly needs forgiveness would accept it. that does no longer mean you received't have a fee to pay, yet in concerns of damnation, i do not in my opinion sense it has a lot to do consisting of your faith, because it does with who you're as someone. wish that helps!

wisdom is the knowledge to only say and do that which can benefit others.
