Wisdom and Folly

In 2010, Grigori Perelman, a Russian mathematician, was offered the Clay Millennium Prize and one million dollars for his solving of the Poincare conjecture (one of the seven hardest math problems to exist), but he declined. “I know how to control the universe. Why would I run to get a million, tell me?” he said. Though regarded as one of the five smartest people in the world, he understands little about who controls the universe. He has all the intelligence but none of the wisdom.
