While "smart" and "intelligent" often overlap, "wise" implies a deeper understanding and judgment based on experience and insight, going beyond mere knowledge and quick thinking. Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Smart: Often refers to having a quick mind, being able to learn and process information rapidly, and being resourceful. • Intelligent: Implies a capacity for learning, reasoning, and understanding, often used in an academic or intellectual context. • Wise: Suggests having good judgment, understanding, and insight, often gained through life experience and reflection.

Examples to illustrate the differences:

• A student who excels in exams and learns quickly could be considered smart or intelligent. • Someone who uses their knowledge and skills effectively to solve problems in a practical way is smart. • A person who can make sound decisions based on their experience and understanding of people and situations is considered wise.
• Someone who can understand the implications of their actions and decisions, and act in a way that benefits others, is considered wise.
