On the way to wisdom on the Walk of Wisdom (6): Pieter Derks

By Klaas Drupsteen

When are you wise? How do you become it and what does it actually do for you? In the TV program ‘On the Way to Wisdom’ of Omroep Gelderland I went looking for answers to those questions.

I walked the Walk of Wisdom in nine stages and each time a well-known Gelderlander walked with me. I spoke with them about their lives and work, the way they have developed and the wisdom they have gained over the years.

In the sixth episode, which aired on 28 February, comedian Pieter Derks is a guest. If you put things you think about or worry about into a good joke or fun story, you’ve lost it and it’s cleaned up, according to Pieter. He sees the stage as a free space and playing as an outlet, even though he is still the quiet timid boy of the past.
