Happy Experiment No 5 comes from Tim Le Bon’s recent Wise Wednesday article called Making Positive Psychology Wiser and is a philosophical version of Happy Experiment No 2:  Three Good Things.  In order to inspire you here are video clips from three wise men past and present.

Three Wise Things

Each night for one week, write down three ways in which you or someone you know acted wisely that day. The things don’t have exhibit the wisdom of King Solomon – they just have to be things where someone showed good judgement. In addition to writing down three wise things, write down what made these actions wise?

The wisdom of Will Smith

The wisdom of Abraham Lincoln

The wisdom of Confucious
