When asked if you are a wise person, would you answer 'yes' or 'no'?

I wish to narrate my insight towards 'When asked if you are a wise person, would you answer 'yes' or 'no'?'. IIRC, When I was in college, find myself to be skillful of all (in CS Department) and a cum laude graduate too. After my graduation in Computer Science and Engineering by the mid of 2005, I joined a startup, there the real 'programmer life' starts, where i found myself lagged in some the intensive 'industrial' experience which every software developer must know in order to create a kludge. As usual as time moves on, am able to gather a sustainable knowledge through some hard work and study. Again its trivial and painstaking to pursuit the ingeniousness which a ESR defined hacker would have. Eventually as my exposure to Internet (the real 'virtual' IT world) grows, my wiseness seems to be sealed and its like the OLD DOS OS( Even as a OS it can't be used for many purpose, but linux OS kernal rocks the world). I envy the rock star programmer from the 'reputed' institutions who has a great exposure and mingled with the bright minds. I wasn't up to the remark when comparing myself with those 'geeks'. Of Course the best way to find the 'wiseness' is by comparing/benchmarking with others. right? To the larger extent, I suffer and working hard to come out of the 'mediocre' programmer category. In the irony, it seems like a 'Wise in a forty may be a FOOL in another forty pupil group'. What would be the actual workaround? We need to learn everything by practice. Its like, "Fishes knows swimming by birth, but we human needs to learn it by practice. Alike, there may be some born genius".

I reiterate, I wish to know. but how? I remorse, I wish to be a wise and skillful Homo sapiens.
