‘Like plants, wisdom requires careful nurturing’ - Luis de Sousa

Just as plants must be attentively cared for to thrive, wisdom, too, must be deliberately nurtured and honed.

For plants to grow strong and vibrant, they need the correct balance of sunlight, water, nutrients, and time. In a similar vein, developing wisdom demands intentional effort. This includes actively seeking knowledge, engaging in reflective thinking about one’s actions and decisions, and practising critical thinking skills.

My quote underscores the notion that neither plants nor wisdom naturally flourish without focused and sustained effort; both demand ongoing attention and cultivation to prosper.
