I came across a lot of people who do not know the meaning of the word Sagacity, or how to pronounce it. Thus, today I decided to delve into the definition of Sagacity. Listed first, is the pronunciation, try it, and if you are still not convinced go to Merriam-Webster.com and click on the volume icon to hear a sample of the enunciated word. Next, is the translation of Sagacity in Vietnamese- just because. And lastly, the Sagacity definitions in English.

When Self was chosen to pair with Sagacity, it was meant to be a place to share the process, or rather, the accumulation of my own 1) wisdom and 2) learning in life. It is at times definitively 3) opinionated. It is not flawless and not always serious, so when you come across a post that is funny, go ahead and laugh, it was probably meant to be humorous.

Most of all, thanks for reading. If you wanted to leave Self Sagacity your thoughts, it's appreciated. If you ever wanted to be a guest writer Self Sagacity is just a ping away.

Pronunciation: \sə-ˈga-sə-tē, si-\

Vietnamese Translation: sự thông minh
sagacity (n.) (literary): sự nhiệt tình, sự sắc sảo, độ nhọn, độ sắc

Penetration enables us to enter into the depths of an abstruse subject, to 10) detect motives, plans, etc. Sagacity adds to penetration a keen, 11) practical judgment, which enables one to 12) guard against the designs of others, and to 13) turn everything to the best possible advantage.
