Wisdom comes from experience. Experience requires you both to have done things in your life and to have had the time to reflect on those events. That comes with age.
... and with having those experiences, and with having the ability to reflect and learn from them.
I agree with William. I know some folk in their twenties who have done more (and reflected on what they've done and learned from it) that some folk I know that are my age (40s).
Wisdom comes from having experiences and the ability to learn from them. While that's roughly correlated with age there are:
* plenty of older folk who don't have many experiences, or don't have a good ability to learn from them
* plenty of younger folk who push themselves - or get pushed - to have a bunch of experience and learn those lessons very well.
I know people in their 20s who are wiser than people I know in their 60s. And vice versa. Personally I vastly prefer to look at people first rather than make assumptions based on age.
