Knowledge vs Wisdom

Spoke with a CEO recently who's been challenging my thinking and he spoke of not rushing to fill my head with information from a bunch of different sources or novice characters.. Rather be careful of who or where you receive your information because an expert may just say they have it completely wrong..  Prior to this topic, we were talking about the new path I have began in my life, the adding of more challenges in my days, more tasks, more reading, more prayer, more family time, more work, more thinking, basically more everything..  Just as many would when learning about something new, I had several ideas of this and that.. A new drive, motivated I felt not only from the different information or knowledge I was aquiring but the assumptions now's the time to invest, save, make money, work harder, and live better.. I really became fond of helping others.. Lifting people up and adding value. All good things and actually all getting done somewhat.. Of course everything takes time. Back to the first topic of me understanding what he meant when saying be careful where I aquire my information.. From that I took: be quick to listen but, test or research the credibility or background of the source.. Its better to learn from an Expert than a novice.. How many times have we heard someone say, "Would you like to share your expertise on this subject?" Most of the time it's a sarcastic question from someone who thinks that particular person doesn't have as much knowledge or a better idea than them. Okay I'm rambling a bit but again a person who just has knowledge of the subject or profession if you will, will never be able to even touch the capacity of wisdom an Expert can fill into any blanks that come up.
I guess he was slowing me down a bit or pumping my own brake for me. In effort to make sure I took the time to reflect and remember to focus on myself while continuing to grow ultimately making me a better helper if that's the road I choose to take.. He challenged my thinking!! This doesn't mean he's 100% right but I think I understand what he meant.. Since then I have removed some of the business/motivation content and added more influential studies within my field of work.. Saving the business info learned and sharing it with my wife (the actual Entrepreneur of the family). Not only do I have this CEO as a mentor or accountablity partner but I added a second, one who is instead of 10 steps ahead of me down to a mentor who is 3 to 4 steps ahead but this time in my line of work.. Again not an expert I'm sure but very knowledgeable and experienced in with their craft.. Far more than me anyways, so it's still a learning opportunity right..? With that being said, I searched for authors and titles who have became experts in our line of work and allowed them to mentor me as well.. Now we have 3 guides along the path (my life) of my choosing (my road).  So can the knowledge gained with time and experience(fails and wins) ultimately  provide wisdom?? I think so..

I'll remember to check my sources too though!!
