A Wizard by any other name...

1. One who practices magic; a sorcerer or magician.
2. A skilled or clever person: a wizard at math.
3. A sage (a mentor in spiritual and philosophical topics who is renowned for profound wisdom that comes with age and experience)

Of all these definitions, I think I like #3 the best. I leave the magic and miracles up to the Universe. But mentoring, wisdom, spirituality and experience, these are qualities I aspire to.

And I believe the only way to gain these are to be open-minded and a lifelong learner. Most people think they are open-minded. But most of what they call learning is just reinforcing what they already know. When is the last time you really learned and accepted something new?
