Intuition

While a clever person may have a strong intuition, their insights may only benefit themselves. On the other hand, a learned person who has gained knowledge through studies has the ability to express their ideas and contribute to society.

Intuition is often described as a gut feeling or a hunch that arises without conscious reasoning. It is a valuable skill, but it can be limited by personal biases and experiences. In contrast, knowledge gained through education and study is based on evidence and critical thinking. This allows learned individuals to make informed decisions and contribute to the advancement of society.
