NCBA&E Alhamra University Bahawalpur Sub-Campus organized a thought-provoking seminar titled “Sources of Wisdom: From Knowing Nothing to Knowing More,” providing participants with an opportunity to explore the relationship between knowledge, experience, critical thinking, and wisdom.
The discussion was chaired by Prof. Dr. Nawaz Kawish. Opening the discussion, Prof. Dr. Muhammad Aslam Adeeb explored major sources of wisdom, including religion, books, knowledge, experience, observation, critical thinking, creativity, and self-awareness. He highlighted how these sources contribute to an individual’s intellectual and personal development.
Building on the discussion, Dr. Aamir Nazir raised important questions about what makes knowledge meaningful and why certain experiences and disciplines are considered sources of wisdom. He also encouraged participants to reflect on the sources of negativity and harmful influences that can distort judgment and undermine the responsible use of knowledge.
The seminar emphasized that wisdom goes beyond simply accumulating information. It develops through experience, reflection, critical reasoning, creativity, moral understanding, and awareness of oneself and society. The interactive discussion encouraged participants to question assumptions, think critically, and consider how knowledge can be applied responsibly.
The seminar was attended by distinguished faculty members and participants, including Prof. Dr. Muhammad Aslam Adeeb, Prof. Dr. Muhammad Asghar Hashmi, Prof. Dr. Nawaz Kawish, Dr. Quratulain Arshad, Dr. Muzamal Bhatti, Dr. Ali Asghar, Dr. Asad Ali, Dr. Munawar Hussain, Dr. Aamir Nazir, Dr. Syed Safdar Hussain, Dr. Husna Aslam, Dr. Zarnab Ahmad, along with other faculty members and participants.
The seminar concluded with a powerful central message: wisdom is not simply about knowing more; it is about knowing how to think, question, reflect, distinguish between positive and negative influences, and use knowledge responsibly.
Through such intellectual and reflective initiatives, NCBA&E Alhamra University Bahawalpur Sub-Campus continues to promote critical thinking, intellectual growth, and meaningful academic dialogue among its faculty and academic community.
