The Story

The Young Grasshopper & The Old Butterfly is a tale about Wisdom. How is wisdom recognized? What is it? How is it attained? Is it important?

Some questions to explore:

Can wisdom be improved?

What is common sense?
How do you train to think in the moment?
What does a teacher or mentor mean?

Do teachers learn from their students?

What is ego? Are you aware of it?
