"頭の知恵と心の知恵がある"
— Charles Dickens
Simplified Meaning:
People can be smart in different ways. Sometimes, being smart means using logic and facts to solve problems, like when you do math or make a budget. This is "wisdom of the head." Other times, being smart means understanding people's feelings and knowing what's right or wrong, like helping a friend who's sad or making a tough but kind decision. This is "wisdom of the heart." Think about a doctor. They need to know all the medical knowledge to treat patients, which is head wisdom. But they also need to be compassionate and listen to their patients' worries, which is heart wisdom. To live a good, balanced life, it's important to use both types of wisdom. For example, if you're deciding what job to take, you might consider logical things like salary and location (head), but also think about whether the job makes you happy and fulfilled (heart). Combining both helps you make the best choices.
