As an individual who has a tattoo that reminds him of wisdom being an achievable trait, I find the idea interesting but disagree.
I believe that wisdom is the joining of experience + intelligence.
And like any trait, sometimes you have to make a conscious decision to act in that particular way - it's not possible to just arrive at a state of "Wisdom" and stay there permanently. Sometimes, regardless of experience or intelligence, you will make poor decisions or miss details. Wisdom is about growth and change.
To be slightly reductionist: Wisdom is a journey, a state-of-mind is a destination, and a journey will never be a destination (unless you're planning on vacation to a hiking spot).
