Living a virtues life
In the book A World of Ideas by Lee A. Jacob, we come across a wise man Aristotle. He explains that there are two kinds of virtue: intellectual and moral. Our virtue is what makes us different. Intellectual virtues is what we are born with and what we learn in the world and it is our job as humans and what we have inherited that makes our desire to learn more powerful than ever before. We develop wisdom to help guide us to a good life and knowledge leads us to be successful.
