Clever, smart and wise

You can be intelligent in three major ways or, if you are lucky, a combination of those.

Clever - bookish knowledge you've picked up from school and books. Applicable strictly in the related field, or - with caution and moderation - at cocktail parties.

Smart - streetwise prowess learnt at school of life. Helps you deftly navigate the vicissitudes of human existence, but fails you variety of profound ways, e.g., won't spare you the midlife crisis and won't make your life any meaningful

Wisdom - lesson you have learnt observing world and your own mistakes. Gets only better the more you work on it, addressed the most important questions you may ever have.
