The Great Ocean

Isaac Newton said this about his state of knowledge;

I do not know what I appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay undiscovered before me.

I feel the same, spending so much of my time gathering data and information that sometimes results in knowledge. But wisdom, that comes very slowly. What is in the great undiscovered ocean before me? What questions do I need to ask? How will the answers change my life? If I continue this way will my time have been well spent?
