My Personal Philosophy of life.
My Personal Philosophy of life. Philosophy of life will be different between each person. A persons philosophy will vary depending on ones life experience. I believe that no two people will have seen life in the same way. There would be many people that have similar philosophy on life but none of them would be exactly the same. I will share my ideas and thoughts on what is my philosophy of life. The way have experience life has made me change my way thinking more then once, am sure it will change again. What is my purpose in life? What is anybody’s purpose in life? That’s a question that we all deal with, why are we here, what is the point of life? There is the thought that are purpose of life only known by God. That he has chosen it for before we were ever born, and that part of the reason is to be here for someone else. If I would have asked this questions three four years ago I would have answered with, I have no idea. Back then I really had know idea why am here, or what am supposed to be doing. It seem that all I cared about was to go party. I would live with the philosophy of, live one day at a time. I was in the army then and all I worried about was that day, oh payday needed money to party. I didn’t worry about trying to get promoted or move up, that’s what must soldiers strive for. I basically was just trying to skate through life. Things changed in my life that I will get into later. I can know say that the purpose of me being here is to provide for my daughter. My daughter has become the most imported thing in life; everything I do or decide is based on her. I need to better myself so that why I can provide for her. I must do everything in my power to raise her right. She needs to have a very chance to succeed and it’s my job to give her that chance and be a role model for her. There was a time before my daughter I started to have dreams and what things. I have come to realize that my dreams are still po... * Page 1 of 14 * Next > ssible but I must put them second to what I believe must been done to fulfill my purpose. My dreams will be fulfilled as time goes on and this will make my daughter and me happier. How did I come to know what my purpose in life is? The why I came to know that this was my purpose was with the birth of my daughter. The first time I got to hold here I felt something change in me. It’s hard to explain but I know from that day on something needed to change. I realized that I can’t go through life this way, and things needed to change. I became aware that there is more than just me in this world. As far back as I can remember the only thing that matter to me was I. Whatever it took to make me happy was the most important thing I need to get done. What other people felt was never a concern of mine. Then came that magical day. The day that I realized that I is not the must important thing. When I felt the feeling of caring for someone more than I cared for myself. I realized that my purpose was to raise and protect my daughter. Knowing that there is a life that depended on me for food and guidance’s, can make just about anyone change their way of thinking. I decided that I would do anything and everything for her because I needed to see her became a grown person with her own thoughts and values. What life experiences both positive and negative have influenced me? There are many things that have influenced me in my lifetime but I will only mention the ones that really stand out. The first thing that I believe influenced me was being an army brat. As child I remember always having to move from place to place about every three years. My father was hardly around always in the field or on some mission in other countries. My mother was always busy taking care of the house and daily chores. I got to use to leavening friends, there was times that I preferred to be alone. I believe that’s time when I got use to the idea of it being all a... * < Prev * Page 2 of 14 * Next >

While playing soccer I did get use to the idea of the work and somewhat caring about others thought. The next being thing that influenced was signing up for the military. I did a total of eight years in the army, I just got out in March 2004. The army help me out to grow into the person that I am now. I can say I did enjoy my time in and don’t regret it even though I know I count not stay any longer. I learned more about team work, how to deal with others and how to take orders from other people with out getting attitude. I remember been told once when I was leaving my first unit “Fermaint u nothing but a street punk when u should up, but know u still a punk but a soldier grown up.” Those words meant a lot me because I was not the only one who notices the change; I made my first two years in the army.

My Philosophy on Life

People live they're lives with different mottos and rules to live by. Some live wild and dangerously while others are reserved and quiet. I live my life on a day-to-day basis. I take things as they come and do what I feel is right. I like the way I live and I wouldn't change it for the world. My philosophy on life is simple-take things day by day, one step at a time, keep your friends close and your enemies closer, and never take things for granted. I live by these three mottos along with many others because it helps me get through the days when I'm mad at someone, I'm upset about something, or I'm just ready to give up.

The motto "take things day by day, one step at a time" is a great motto that I adopted back when I used to plan things out way ahead of time and when I would just wishfully think about things. I decided that by taking things day by day, one step at a time, I would make more realistic decisions and I wouldn't get my hope up for things that never ended up happening. I used to plan things out way ahead of time, get all excited, and when the time came, whatever was supposed to happen never happened. So no I live day to day and I just go with the flow because it's much more fun and less hectic because I don't have to worry about a schedule or a date (except for school).

By keeping my friends close and my enemies closer, I've learned two things. There's nothing better than being incredibly nice to some one that doesn't like you because it just makes them even more mad. I'm not talking about being sarcastically nice, I'm talking about genuinely nice. It's like it rubs them right in they're face and upsets them even more. I also take the motto another way. I see it like this-I'm going to keep my friends close just because they're my friends but I'm going to keep my enemies closer because they're the ones that might plot something or try to start trouble with me so I want to keep them real close. I feel as...

Philosophy has a strong influence on everyone’s day-to-day life. We all enrich our lives by thinking about things with a substantial value. We use philosophy as a sort of roadmap to direct us through our lives. We, of course, take other things into consideration while we are going through our day, but philosophy is one of the more ample ones.

Philosophy is, according to the dictionary, “Literally, the love of, including the search after, wisdom”. This applies to my life, when I am in school and when I am out of school. When I am in classes, I use the available knowledge in books, the lovely newspaper articles from English class (hehe), and the brains of teachers, in order to aid in my ‘hunt’. Wisdom is something that interests almost all of us. It provides us with answers to the everyday problems we run into, and curbs our curiosity.

When I am out of school, I read novels in order to expand my imagination, and learn about what happened in the past. The fiction novels I read, allow me to learn about abstract and surreal ideas. I try to dedicate time from my schedule in order to read, because not only does it provide entertainment, but it also allows the intelligence of humans to travel beyond just what is sensible. The intelligence should consist of real hard facts, as well as fictional thoughts as well. I also watch the news about events that are happening around the world. Everyone should do this activity, because you gain insight on mistakes that have happened, and information on how challenges affect people. By integrating both ideal thoughts and real facts, it helps create a better-rounded persona, which is one of the outlining definitions of philosophy. This idea is expressed in the following quote “the science of truths sensible and abstract”.

As people venture through their everyday lives, although we may not realize it, we are all following the ideals of philosophy. We all search after the knowledge of the world, by discussing with others, reading novels, or attending classes. The human imagination also integrates ideals both surreal and real into our daily life, which produces a sort of “well-rounded person
