Doing different things in different situations. Contrasting experiences are important. In my view, you can't be wise if you haven't experienced the full spectrum of basic emotions and situations: Major failure, major success, poverty, wealth, insecurity, confidence, naivety, scepticism, laziness, ambition, pessimism, optimism, extremely bad luck, extremely good luck... If your life experiences lean too much in one direction then you will be biased and not wise. I think that an average person who had contrasting experiences of moderate magnitude is probably wiser than someone who mostly got an extreme set of one kind of experience.
