My Philosophy Of Life Essay

Decent Essays
Abstract
Philosophy of life is going to be different for everyone. Philosophy will depend on the experiences we have in life; because we have all seen and lived life in a different way. We have all made many changes in our lifetime, and today we might see something one way and tomorrow we will see it in a different light. So my philosophy of life is an ever-changing philosophy. Sometimes we would love to go back to where it all started, but that would be impossible. It is hard to turn the clock backward; Sometimes we think the life we chose is too hard, but hard life has a way of preparing us for the extraordinary life to come. Sometimes we tend to adapt to our circumstances or we persist in trying to adapt to the world itself. So my philosophy of life is different altogether from most people. We are disappointed when we fail when we don’t get what we expect, and to us, failure is very difficult to take.

How they see you and how they think of you. When you give of yourselves in a good way, it surfaces in a way that shows unconditional caring and love of others in your life. In life, I have learned to give back to society in a positive way and to think of others as I think of myself. What emerged from my answers is that people care about me as much as I care about them, and in order for that to have happened is the way we live and interact in our community. Two weeks ago we had the effects of hurricane Irma and it caused a lot of damage in our

Knowing that people who needed food was getting the nutrients and the people were getting fed made me see that helping out can be a huge impact.…

    It seems that at some point in our lives, we are taken over by some force, and are tricked into feeling like our desires, our destinies, whatever they may be, have fallen out of reach. Are dreams just a phase that you grow out of after childhood, are they for motivational use, to help us hold on to our sanity when we face each new day, or are they something more? It takes courage to leave behind whatever will slow you down and seek personal happiness. At times we stop listening to that quiet, benevolent voice inside all of us, and sometimes people neglect it altogether when they most need guidance and direction. Siddhartha stirred up my emotions, reinforced a philosophy that I live by, and made me want to rethink my life's goals.…

    Throughout Henry David Thoreau’s “Where I Lived, and What I Lived For,” Thoreau uses an extended metaphor to critique society, and express his philosophy of how and why people should live. When he says, “We do not ride on the railroad; it rides upon us. Did you ever think what those sleepers are that underlie the railroad? Each one is a man, an Irishman, or a Yankee man. The rails are laid on them, and they are covered with sand, and the cars run smoothly over them.…

    The instant I discovered Pitzer’s core values, I felt deep down that it was the school for me. I feel a strong connection to each of the values, but since I only have 650 words, I will focus on intercultural understanding, student engagement and social responsibility. Generosity is something I was raised on, whenever I saw someone in need I would rush over and do everything I could to be there for that person, feeling that it is my responsibility to be by their side. Acceptance is in my blood, realizing that some have their flaws and differences, and understanding that it’s something that makes them the unique and beautiful person that they are.…

    Analysis of “Life” Society makes education essential to our daily lives because we now live in a world full of technology. I know most of my fellow classmates will agree that we cannot go a day without using some form of technology. Therefore, society plays a huge role in how people become literate or in other words, how people learn to read and write (“Bedford”). There may be many ways to become literate, but society exemplifies the main reason why I know how to read and write. As a result, I created a book with interactive text called “Life” that explores why society’s environment, customs, and technology contributed to my literacy.…
