If you are willing, my child, you can be disciplined,
and if you apply yourself you will become clever.
If you love to listen you will gain knowledge,
and if you pay attention you will become wise.
and if you pay attention you will become wise.
Reflect on the statutes of the Lord,
and meditate at all times on his commandments.
It is he who will give insight to your mind,
and your desire for wisdom will be granted.

---- mine,
Wisdom is unattainable for fools, those caught up in worldly affairs, who lack self-will self-mastery, and self-control. Those who are easily dissipated, those with a short attention span, those who actively seek a life of ease, and those who indulge every appetite as soon as they desire it. These will not inherit the Kingdom of God. For the Kingdom of God is righteousness, goodness, and self-control, and from these flow goodness, peace, peace, joy, and quiet contentment in the will of God and in pursuing the things that lift the heart, mind, soul, and spirit to God. Ask for the gift of being still, quieting your senses, emptying yourself of all distractions and restless yearnings of the flesh. Be still and listen. Ask and you will receive everything you ask for in prayer for God delights in pouring His gifts to all who ask with sincerity, with fervor, and without tiring. Wisdom is given to those who truly desire it and having received this gift they will treasure it and ponder it until it becomes a way of life. Ask, seek, knock, and all you ask for will be given to you in abundance, shaken together and overflowing for God delights in giving every good and perfect gift to those who ask sincerely.
