It's the same as 'It isn't what you know, it's who you know.'
It's saying that some people owe their success to making the 'right' friends, doing favors for people so they will 'owe you', being a 'yes man' to the bosses, and thus gaining an unfair advantage over rivals who are more qualified for a position.
It's also a good excuse when someone is more successful than you are!
A wise person understands the world around them and seeks knowledge, while a shrewd person focuses on their own interests and how to achieve them. Wisdom involves deep understanding and insight, while shrewdness involves being cunning or clever in dealing with situations.

According to the bible how many wise men are there?
no one really knows how many wise men there were, most people think there were 3, but the Bible says that "the wise men then brought 3 gifts of frankinsence, gold, and myrr." the Bible says that they brought 3 gifts, so in theory, it makes it sound like there were 3 wise men, but there could have been just 1, mabe 2, mabe 100, no one knows. people also think that the wise men came to visit Jesus on the night that he was born, but this is not true, the Bible says that the wise men came to visit him when he was at least a month old or a year old. and if you dont believe what im saying now, you can just go and read your Bible, cause EVERYBODY knows that the Bible is pure truth. ;)
