This is an extended version of a comment (which only allowed 300 characters) to this question (which I did answer and had my answer chosen the best): Who's the Smartest Person in the World and Why?
I think the more virtues and stronger virtues a person has, the more smart they may become...
This "serenity prayer" is about requesting virtues from god... acceptance, courage,
"God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other."

There are many other virtues though...

I think the lessons people will learn from obtaining these virtues can be applied throughout life and make things in general more understandable. Some virtues are learned by chance, but many may need to be actively sought.
